Seven Falls, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Called the “Most Beautiful Canyon in the World” by some, Seven Falls outside Colorado Springs is definitely a place that should be visited. Access to the top is possible via a staircase of 224 steps or an elevator, for those less physically able (such as myself). The view is spectacular, and there is a very nice gift shop and restaurant, also. These photos were taken in 2012.

Very nice tour, David! As a skier, most of my travel to Colorado is for skiing.

Thanks, Mike! I skied at Durango back in the early 1980s. My 1989 motorcycle accident damaged a knee and I cannot ski now (never was very good, but I did enjoy the few times I did it).Very nice tour, David! As a skier, most of my travel to Colorado is for skiing.

Nice shots! Glad you enjoyed Seven Falls and I am so fortunate to live just across town. But, I have never climbed all those stairs!!

I climbed all those stairs when I was a kid. You should see them at night when they are lit up.
