We started out the second day of our Colorado trip at Seven Falls, which is located in the South Cheyenne Canyon, just outside of Colorado Springs. The drive into the canyon is wonderful with sheer walls of Pikes Peak granite looming 600 feet above you. There is a 224 step stairway along the falls to climb 181 feet of elevation getting you to the top of the falls. Another scenic spot is the crows nest set atop a granite ledge. You can reach this platform either by stairs, or a convenient elevator that is tunneled vertically through the granite. For about $30 total, this was worth the visit for a family.

Seven Falls and one stumble.

Looks like a neat place, given that excellent picture. With the clever title, I was half-expecting to read that someone did stumble on the way up all those stairs!
