Seven Falls & Inspiration Point

Another Colorado Springs favorite—Seven Falls, often called “The Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado.” This series of seven cascading waterfalls is tucked inside a stunning 1,250-foot box canyon and drops a total of 181 feet.

The canyon was incredible, with towering rock walls surrounding us as we made our way toward the falls. After taking in the views and the sound of rushing water, we decided to climb up to Inspiration Point.

The hike was no joke—633 stairs plus an uphill climb—but the views from the top were worth every step.

And honestly… good thing we didn’t attempt the Manitou Incline earlier. Between all those stairs and Don’s already “battle-tested” shin (thanks to an earlier bike pedal incident 🫣), we were probably right at our daily “leg limit” anyway. 😆

We did get a bonus show, though—watching zip liners glide across the canyon while we happily stayed on solid ground.

Seven Falls ended up being a perfect mix of scenery, adventure, and a good workout—another unforgettable stop on our Colorado journey.Read more
