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.
I joined the Header Challenge team in November. We post a new header each week on a suggested theme. Imac is the founder and head of the team. The members vote for best header and the winner gets the gold. The links above will take you to the other participants.

Nice waterfall, incredible trail construction, and an elevator too. Must have cost a bit. Certainly worth it, great captures.
Great photos Lew, I'd love to see that in person....but your photos are the next best thing. Thanks
Have a great week

Lew, I agree totally with Guy, I'd love to see it, but your photos are fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous! What a lovely trip for you!
Have a great week!
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.
I just love waterfalls and you took them quite well.
