就在一分钟内我还开着车在这一带的居民区行驶,然后下一秒我就看见这里的美丽的大树和被皑皑白雪覆盖的大峡谷,真是美丽极了。我看见这的小溪流和瀑布。地面上全是一层白雪覆盖,这个公园就这样被积雪映衬着。还有瀑布那样垂顺下来,非常漂亮。我们的旅途虽然很短但却记忆深刻,永存心间。

我们想找一个有鱼的地方(没有钓鱼),但孩子们度过了一个愉快一天观看动物表演。他们有很多为孩子们的互动展示,是让他们更多了解动物的好方式。

科罗拉多泉镇有公路通到这,很方便。这的景色很棒,有很多的野生动物,不同的小路为游客提供了欣赏户外景色的机会。路上可以停在海伦杭特瀑布玩耍。强烈推荐登山项目,即使你在科罗拉多泉镇只待几个小时也可以玩的很愉快。

整个大峡谷从城市的西部边缘开始,峡谷地貌美不胜收,令人震撼。之后你需要决定是不是要选择黄金营路从上面开下去。当你到达顶端马路的尽头时,那儿有一个大的停车区域,在那儿你可以下车,伸展一下四肢,这儿有一条山路,这条山路原本是一条铁路路基,是供火车从克里普尔克里克把黄金运出去用的。你可以沿着这条山路做一些简单轻松的徒步活动,可以帮你消磨几个小时,还能消耗一下你的孩子和狗狗的精力。如果你选择从黄金营路开下去的话,你会发现路最后会变成只有一条车道的窄路,在一些地方你得按按喇叭以确定前方是否有车辆。不过马路东边的风景,和下面夏延峡谷的景色实在是太令人震撼了。不过对于怕高的人来说可能就不那么美好了。这儿会把你带回到古时科罗拉多城市的感觉中去。

我们沿着废弃的铁路骑自行车。我们一大早出发,轻装上阵,很快就在日出之前到了一处景色优美的地方。远山、峡谷中的城镇,还有地平线上犹如一个巨大橙子的日出。景色美极了,非常值得。

North Cheyenne Canon Park has the best set of easy to moderate hiking trails close to the Springs. Get a map at the Discovery Center at the base of the park. The Mt. Cutler trail is a short trail to the top of, well, Mt. Cutler. Great views along the way. You can see the Seven Falls from the backside. When you get to the top, keep going down a saddle and up a short ridge to a great overview of downtown below.My favorite is the Columbine trail. You can enter it at several different points depending on the length of hike you want. The lower part is flat and great for picnics along the stream. Past some steep switchbacks you'll lose most of the crowds and have a glorious hike which terminates at the parking lot for Helen Hunt Falls.

Love stopping by to hike the trails, can go all the way up to Helen Hunt Falls if you like...remember you have to come back down the same way! Parts of the upper trail get a bit steep, but not too bad. Colorado's natural beauty is showcased well at this park.

If you want to spend some time outdoors in a beautiful setting without as many people around. This is your place. Great trails and park.

This is a beautiful canyon to drive hike or ride with wonderful vistas from the trails ending in a beautiful waterfall at the end of the canyon. Completely different than garden of the gods. Must see if visiting the springs. Its west of the Broadmoor.

Very helpful and friendly staff. This is a nice and informative small museum that is free to visit. There are also some very nice and well maintained trails and beautiful water falls.

Since moving here in August we hike here most every weekend. If you start down near the visitors center you will pass many others who are enjoying the picnicking and park, however the trail itself is usually free with passing others occasionally. Helen Hunt Falls and Seven Falls are both nearby, and the recent flooding damage has been largely restored with improved trails.Our 7-year old daughter makes it to the top and back, as does my wife who has pretty severe back problems, so you can too!

This is one of my favorite spots in Colorado. Nice moderate trails going alongside but away mostly from the road. Didn't visit the educational center but looked nice.

Cheyenne Canyon is always a pleasure with its steep surrounding cliffs, its babbling creek, many spots to stop and hike, and especially Helen Hunt Falls. The falls have a visitors center nearby, and they can be viewed from the road. But hiking up from the falls, though steep and challenging, has many rewarding views amid a forested trail.
