Seven Falls

Seven falls is a wonderful place to take your family to see the true beauty of the Rocky Mountains, Its close enough to the city to be able to go and enjoy the view. It is especialy beautiful when the lights are up for Christmas. Take the time to realy enjoy the views no need to rush such a wonderful opportunity.

The fee is not justified at all. I would rather like to drive in the area of Colorado Springs than wasting even 10 minutes of time. It appears as if they spend good money on marketing to make this location sound like a 'great' plece while it is not.

I think the falls are a great way to spend a couple hrs in some beautiful scenery. Yes there are gift shops stairs and a elevator but they are as much a help as a distraction. I took the elevator and the stairs near the falls and got some very cool pics of flowing water from both. I took over 100 pics in about 2 hrs, and would like to go back with a tripod. Nothing really bugged me here, the stairs made it easy for small kids even though its hard to keep them out of photos. Beautiful with good flow even late in summer.

I went last night. It was beautiful. I have two teenage sons that thought it was "okay". You will wait in line at least 30 minutes to get to the toll gate but it is worth it. Go around seven and then hang around for the lights to come on. It is nice to see it both ways. The drive up to it is as pretty if not more than the actual falls.

What used to be a nice Fall has been so commercialized that it wouldnt suprise me if the fall had the water pumped in . There is a railing(ladder) running right up the side of the fall . Concrete platforms around the bottom with curbs and more railing. Was very disappointed. Like going to a city park. Very sad what man thinks this is improvement.

This is cute for kids as there is an elevator up to a view of the falls. To enter the elevator you go through a long dark cold tunnel. It is cute but not worth it for a romantic outing. Helen Hunt falls are free and are more spectacular and are in the same area. The steps at 7 falls would be good work out though...242!! And they are steep! Stay away if you are true nature lover and want to see a real water fall that honors a woman of history (Helen Hunt Jackson).

I was lucky to have gotten there at a lull in traffic. The wait was long none the less as it took quite a while per car to get the whole story from the gate attendant and there is only one lane. Once inside, it was Ok, not spectaular but a nice hike anyway. The stairway will scare the pants off of anyone with fear of heights as it bounces under each step. And as narrow as it is, you are at the mercy of the pace of those in front of you. The worst part were the employees! Rude rednecks. I think they must all be family. We wanted to warn all of the 30 cars waiting forever to get in to turn around and see Cheyenne Canyon instead! And that one is free.

If you have been to Niagra Falls, or anything along those lines, its a waste of time. All it is, is a waterfall that hits the rock 7 times, i was totally not impressed, and they make you pay for it. There are metal sculptures in the surrounding neighborhood that is worth checking out though.

I LOVED Seven Falls! Take your video camera so you can record the light changes on the falls! Going at night was definitely worth it. Truly a must see. WE SAW A BEAR IN THE PARKING LOT! Lots of wildlife there, so always be cautious and curteous of the wildlife that inhabit the falls and surrounding areas! Seven Falls will not let you down.

IT IS A BREATHTAKING SPECTACULAR.CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN!DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR CAMARA BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS WANT TO LOOK BACK AND REMEMEBER YOUR TRIP.
