If you are a road cyclist and not from the area, I recommend challenging yourself to this ride up the roughly 3 mile climb to the top of the park. The ascent gets very steep but it is well worth it when you get to the top. The views are so beautiful on the way up and you really get a feel for the elevation on a bike that makes you feel like youre riding in a grand tour. For cyclists, there are several pull off areas along the way up so if you arent used to the air and need to take a breather there are several opportunities to do so. Drivers passing by are courteous as well. Several port-a-potties near the top at the Helen Hunt stop.

This place is home. I love the clean, quite, environment. I cant wait till I can be a Ranger. Im 1/4 Olagla Sioux trust me I know healing grounds.

Beautiful! Fun hiking trails and great scenery. Summer is a good time if you don’t want to see much flowing off the falls... so if you want to see “falls” maybe try spring. Some had a trickle and some had a bit more but it was not a breathtakingly beautiful waterfall image you may have seen. Now, everything else is great and during the right season the falls are amazing! Worth the visit for some time in nature.

Lots to do very clean Park very maintained very beautiful at every scene in every turn lots and lots of trails me and my son are practically here four times a week its a must see

While visiting the area, I decided to take my son and my puppy Jason to this park. Parts of the trail reminded me of my last spartan race. It is definitely a nice park with trails designed to get you in shape. Although, my golden retriever attracted alot of attention, which slowed us down a bit, we were still able to burn some calories.

I love it. The road is gorgeous the view too.

This is hands down a incredible park/mountain. Magnificently beautiful. Wish I could live on this mountain.

So many beautiful trails here. They have bear safe trash cans and the entire area seems to be kept up very well considering the high traffic. You can always find a few pieces of trash because of so many tourists, just an opportunity to do some good yourself! Very beautiful, relaxing place to visit with lots of streams

Great trails! Super dog friendly and clean. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful canyon with stream! Easy, medium and difficult trails to accommodate everyone.

If youre still in the park at night and the gates close, dont worry - theyre motion sensor operated but you need to get your vehicle very close to open them.

A beautiful park that is being loved to death. Visit for birdwatching, picnicking, a light hike or a strenuous one. Whatever outdoor adventure you want, this park has it, just make sure to do your part to keep the park wild!

The drive up is beautiful. There are so many trails to explore or just pull along side the road on the creekside and relax and enjoy! The weekends are busy. Theres not a lot of parking and it is frustrating circling the parking area awaiting for a spot to open up. If you do go on weekends, go early. Also on the weekends, there will be many people walking on the winding streets and lots of cyclists, so go slow.

Absolutely beautiful!!! So many photo opportunities! Stunning views

If youre looking for a place that is close to the city,, yet feels like the middle of the mountains, enjoy a trip to Cheyenne Canon. Views are stunning; one of my favorite places in or near Colorado Springs.

Amazing, beautiful, God is so awesome!!!!

My favorite getaway place. From My. Cutler to 7 bridges or st marys falls.... Best of everything here

Visited in March for spring break. Still freezing cold but still had absolutely breathtaking views. The waterfalls at the end of the road coming in was worth the hike on a half thawed half frozen ice path. The hike was doable for teenagers, parents, and grandparents without health issues.

New to Colorado but this this place is amazing. 5 minutes from my house and Im getting the best views from some nice hiking trails. If youve never been you need to check out old stage road as well, you wont regret it!

This is such a great place for kids! I would love to go back when in the area. Whole family enjoyed damming up the stream in the shade!

Love coming here. Not over run with tourism thank God!

A lot of different trails and a lot of parking pull offs. Beautiful views and a good variety of easy and moderate trails of different lengths.

Beautiful park with great trails of varying difficulty!

Highly recommend for the people who want a bit of an escape from the daily grind and are looking for a bit of sight seeing and peace. I have hiked many trails out here and the only advice I have is stay on trail, bring hike spikes or chains if there is snow or ice. So convenient that this is just a 20 minute drive away from the house. The best part for me is how social everyone is that you meet on trail. I have stuck many conversations and not once have I ever felt a wired vibe. Please go people.

Gorgeous park on Cheyenne Mountain. Steep drive. Gravel/dirt pull offs for hiking and hanging out by the creek. Lots of trees and red cliffs.

Nice hike. A little steep.

This city-owned park is a great way to experience Colorado, whether you have just an hour or all weekend. If you have just an hour, drive up the curvy, paved road to Helen Hunt Falls where you can get out and enjoy the views. If you are a hiker, trail runner or mountain biker, this park has incredible trails (some challenging!) and views you can explore all day. An easy hike is to go all the way to the top of the paved road and park in the dirt lot and then walk up the historic Gold Camp Road, which has incredible views and is safe for kids to explore. More experienced visitors can also try High Drive, Buckhorn trail, Columbine trail, or the shorter, easier Cutler trail. Many trails connect to the adjacent National Forest.

Great Rocky Mountain canyon with lots of trail options. A lot of people on a Saturday.

Stunningly beautiful place, but so absolutely overrun with people that it’s not enjoyable. We went on a Wednesday in July. Parking was overflowing with people, dogs, kids, vehicles, etc. not enough room to turn around without bumping into someone. The vast majority not wearing a mask...

Beautiful place to hike, bike, walk, sightsee, or walk dogs. Tucked away from the daily scuttle.

North Cheyenne Cañon is great for hiking and taking in nature. We did a partial hiking trail that ran next to a small creek.

Love hiking here! There are so many trails you can get any type of exercise youre looking for!

Always a new place to discover . Spectacular in the day, in theand astounding views at night!

Beautiful, well-maintained trails though not well marked. We went earlier in the morning on a Saturday and saw quite a few people on the trails, the trail we were on was also directly beside the road. There are trails away from the road, but the trails are not very well labeled at all. We had a family group of different hiking levels and abilities and had no trouble at all! We had a ton of fun hiking next to the creek!

Dont climb hills in crooks, otherwise wonderful views

The most beautiful place youll ever see. Bring your bike or just ride it out there.

I really like this park. Great trails that are not to difficult. They are good to bring your guests from out of state that are not used to the altitude. Also lots of places to stop for a picnic with the kids.

We didnt do any hiking this time around but we drive the whole thing including Gold Camp rd. Its a beautiful drive, I cant wait to do some hiking there. The road is very narrow at times for two way traffic with some steep cliff drop offs but thats part of the experience, right?! Haha we even saw a goat on the side of the mountain grazing!

The BEST park in Colorado Springs. You can reach absolute privacy within the matter of minutes of hiking. It does get pretty crowded because of all of the people migrating to Colorado, so try not to go on the weekends during the afternoon or mid morning in the summer. The most beautiful and serene park Ive been to in the Springs (when youre there at the right time). However, its still my favorite spot to be for sure! If you go at the right time, you can experience summer, fall and winter all in the same day.

Fantastic views, awesome trails! Get there early!

I love it.

Mount Muscoco is the best trail in the springs!

While its always nice to be among the trees near water, it has become overly commercialized and crowded as all things in Colorado have become.

Some of the best hikes in the Springs! Very family friendly trails, and provides some of the most beautiful light in the evenings. I love to go here and photograph senior portraits and family sessions, its perfect for all! Beautiful, well maintained park that is stunning in the fall when the leaves turn.

This place was like a dream, this park really made our Colorado trip worth it. This was the most Colorado place we visited

If u get there early enough to find a parking spot its our favorite spot in so paso county. Cooling stream and wildlife.

Beautiful drive we went all the way thru past the rock tunnels and came out near Garden of the Gods.

Beautiful place. I recommend that you drive carefully on the winding narrow and watch for the many people who don’t drive carefully on this road.

My favorite hike so far, since moving to Colorado Springs. Something for everyone. If you want an easy hike, theres a main trail thats well walked. (Just watch out for the mounds and mounds of dog crap. Please, people! Pick up the poop!!) There are also several trails for rough hikes. Gorgeous views!

Many great hiking trails.

Absolutely gorgeous walk decided to treat my visiting buddy to a hike here and it was fantastic!

Absolutely love this area.

Super close to Colorado Springs! Never fail to find some sort of adventure up in there. A little bit of everything. The drive alone is worth it!

Love this park!Awesome trails! And free to the public! Be mindful as there are people that live in the park though. Not to busy during the winter either.

Beautiful place. Lots of great hiking Gold trail is great.

BEAUTIFUL! **DO NOT LITTER** KARMA

Fantastic weather and views.

This is our first time in the area. This park is a real gem.

Love running and rock climbing here Sumner time can be hard to find parking

This is an amazing trail so close to the city. Very touristy but there are many different trails to choose from all of them with great views

Who would not love this place? Close to city and absolutely stunning scenery. If I could pick anywhere to get away from the hectic city this is it. Usually 10 degrees cooler on hot summer days. Great place to hike and relax and enjoy nature. Great place to go just to get away quickly.

Cool views, sketchy climbing.

By far one of my favorite places to hike. Its a beautiful place. From the Canon to the Peaks its a great experience for all just wanting to enjoy nature. My one complaint is all the jerks not picking up after their dogs and not abiding by the rule of no dogs off their leash. Make sure you check out the visitors center. Helpful and humble folks.

Probably the best group of trails in such a close area. You could come here everyday and always find new trails to hike.

Great hiking spot

Great place to hike or ride bikes.

Fantastic place to take the family.Great for kids.Photos.Picknics.Hiking.Dog walking.I let my kiddos play in the gentle stream while my wife and I enjoy some time on the bank eating finger foods. And a cold beverage.Please pick up your trash so that others can enjoy the beauty this place has to offer.

Amazing canyon just outside of the ivywild area. Hiking, climbing, Mt biking, ice climbing (winter), and waterfalls makes this a great place to get out and enjoy nature!

Beautiful place and great hiking trails!

This place was absolutely amazing! Clean, quiet, and breathtaking!

Easy trailsFamily friendly

Easy hiking area with great views.

I’ve been in Colorado Springs for 15 months and just discovered this place! The views are absolutely breathtaking. Family and pet friendly.

Good to walk with you family

Breathtaking views, simply relaxing.

Beautiful clean creek and trails

Very beautiful with trails ranging from easy to difficult. Theres miniature waterfalls all over the place and in the summer the amount of butterflies will blow you away. The park doesnt get too crowded either because there are so many trails and many of them have very beautiful outlooks.

Great drive, but lots of Texans and Californians

Good trails with a lot of options! We went on a Saturday and it was not over crowded, but still busy.

Great trails

Love walking around all the different trails!

An amazing place to hike. Beautiful views the whole time and not very busy due being a large area. Hiking is difficult at times with steep switchbacks and loose soil. There are multiple Trail Heads to start from. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful.

Really beautiful fun place

Amazing trails amazing views. Just be ready to walk and and enjoy the hike.

A series of trails and areas off trail to explore. Can get crowded during nice weather but hike a little farther then the crowd to enjoy some space. Great views everywhere. Dogs are allowed but again its a shared trail with bikes and groups of people so know your dog well.

Very cool hidden gem near the Broadmoor! Amazing views and great paths near the stream. The mountain path to the falls can be a bit brutal with the sun so be careful with dogs the rock path gets crazy hot mid day. Bring lots of water and sunscreen for mid day hikes!

Long trail that culminates in a water fall. The area is close to seven falls. You do not need to pay a fee to get in the trail. Dress comfortable and according to weather. Do not deviate from main trail because the others are very narrow and wild. Bring water and comfortable shoes and you should be good for a little adventure.

Very beautiful place. Gorgeous views n trails. Will defiantly be back .

Incredible hiking trail with spectacular views. If the river is running high you may find yourself having to turn around.

Adventure time

Very beautiful!

Just peaceful absolutely nothing better

Of you ever need a reminder as to everyone insists on moving to Colorado, besides marijuana, spend a day in this park. Even locals are stunned by the beauty of this place no matter how many times they may have been there before.

Not over crowded. Many places to pull over and picnic! Picnic spots are on the left (if youre driving up). You may even catch a glimpse of rock climbing and repelling.

Try to go off hours can be very packed

Best hiking place and most incredible nature experience in Colorado Springs. Love the trails and the falls and even driving through the tunnels!

Gorgeous place, typically enough parking unless its a busy weekend day. Clean and safe.

We stopped at North Cheyenne Canyon Park while visiting Colorado Springs to see a couple waterfalls. The water level was really low, but it was still a nice visit. Helen Hunt Falls is next to the visitor center, dont even have to get out of the car to see it. Silver Cascade Falls Trail is a short but steep hike up from Helen Hunt Falls. There was almost no water at this one - basically just a wet rock. We were planning to visit St. Marys Falls, but the parking lot was completely full. Probably wouldnt have been worth it anyway as its on the same creek as Silver Cascade Falls. Its a cool park, but very crowded so recommend arriving early.

This is another gem of a place I wished we had more time to spend here. You could probably spend a month here and not see everything. The trail we took were fairly easy to hike. We missed the waterfall since we just didnt have the time. If you have a full day to dedicate to walking this is one of the prettiest places to do it. Do bring a couple pladtic bags, we filled up two for trash we found along the way and to bring any of ours with us.
