Description

Added by Billy DiMirra

Count the seven bridges on this scenic hike near Colorado Springs. Great views of the water all along the way.

Follow North Cheyenne Creek through the canyon as it forms several cascades along the way. Due to water levels, spring is an especially good time for this hike.

Most turn around just past the seventh bridge, where the trail starts to disappear.

Counting all 7 bridges keeps you occupied as you're climbing up the trail! Fun hike, beautiful scenery on the trail & driving up to the parking lot.

Pretty good quick hike along the river. The drive up goes through gold camp road which is a really cool drive. Its a nice hike if you just want to go somewhere quick and get out!

Hike the Saint Mary's Falls Trail

This moderately difficult hike is a total of 6 miles, with a 1500' incline. You start from the parking lot off Gold Camp Road that intersects with High Drive, and start hiking up the part of Gold Camp Road that is closed off to vehicles. You will see a few trails stemming off from this main road, but continue along the dirt road to get to the falls. Once the trail turns from a road into a small...

Snowshoe to St. Mary's Falls

After reaching the Gold Camp parking lot, strap on your snow shoes and head west past the gated road continuing on Gold Camp. The road will continue west for half a mile before passing the Seven Falls trailhead and turning east for another half a mile.At the collapsed tunnel, Gold Camp Road ends. The trail will get get steep and veer to the left of the tunnel. After a short climb above the road...

Helen Hunt Falls & Silver Cascades

Park at the log-cabin visitor's center on North Cheyenne Canyon Rd just before it turns into Gold Camp Rd. I definitely recommend arriving early, as the parking lot fills up quickly. Helen Hunt Falls is in sight of the parking area, and another 1/3 mile past that you'll run into Silver Cascades. The trail can get quite busy, so I'd recommend visiting on a weekday if possible. Pair this advent...

Hike to St. Mary's Falls

Mt. Cutler Trail

This is a quick hike to add to the list if you're making a trip to the Cheyenne Canon area. Parking is limited to about 15 cars and fills up fast so be sure to start early or the first part of your hike might start from a further parking or pull-off along the road. This is the same parking lot and trailhead as Mt. Muscoco and is a great hike to pair together!

Mt. Muscoco Trail

The Basics: Mt. Muscoco (8020 ft.) is one of the easier summits in the Colorado Springs Front Range area, and you are quickly rewarded with 360 degree views after climbing 1.8 miles and 1,400 feet. The path is well-defined and maintained after it was reconstructed in 2015. Pack water and a light snack, bring the kids, and don't forget a camera for the top. The Hike: The trail begins at the po...
