My World Tuesday - Waterfalls

While I was in Colorado I had a little extra time before lunch with my son and the other family, so I took a drive toward Cheyenne Mountain. I found this canyon park and took a quick tour. Seven Falls Park, located in South Cheyenne Canyon, is privately owned. There is an elevator (as well as steps) to get to an overlook 140 feet above the base of the falls. There is also a stairway (visable is images below) up the side of the canyon to the top of the falls and a trail to a higher point which overlooks Colorado Springs. I did not have time to explore the the trails.

Nice waterfall, incredible trail construction, and an elevator too. Must have cost a bit. Certainly worth it, great captures.

The trails make it so easy to be near the falls. That is one enjoyable looking place all right.

I'm glad you showed the wonderfully green areas too.

Nice pictures. I was one canyon over from this yesterday (North Cheyenne Canyon), and posted some pictures on my blog.

Waterfalls are fascinating and difficult to get right on a photo. It seems that you did well.
