No office no store etc. Nowhere to set up outside to sit or grill unless you like doing that in dirt. The WiFi was actually pretty good. Not really anything in this town. It's really good to get off road have full hookups and sleep for the night. About half or more seemed like full timers. A little confusing on how to get to site and since there is no office no one to ask. If going through area and need to stop for the night I would stay here again.

Apparently, a man lives in a trailer next to the site that we reserved. He has three gigantic dogs,…read morewhom he allowed to attack our dog while we had her on a short leash on a post while we were trying to set up our camper. He had three leashes and three very large dogs, and when I ran around the camper to find what the commotion was, I found him standing with his three big dogs who were attacking my 9-pound Havapoo. Her entire leg is bruised. I learned my lesson. Never assumed that people will control their dogs. This man shouted at me with the F word while he stood and watched his three large-breed dogs attack my little dog. Nobody should take three dogs on a leash if they are not capable of keeping the dogs from doing harm. Never again will I make that mistake. Lucy will stay in the truck during set up. I'll never stay there again.

This is a sweet campground with nice people, a great camp host, and beautiful views. The sites are close together and this would be great for families. You can hear all the conversations everywhere. I wouldn't go for the solitude. The place is buzzing with activity and joy and just enough nature and roughing it to feel like you've accomplished something. Really try to book a site near the river. Firewood is for sale. Water spigots available. Bathrooms what you would expect. Not the worst. Expect lots of dogs and conversation. Deer spotting on the mountainside. The weather seems to change quickly so pack for a little of everything. Ps. You can float a little ways down and hop out on the river bank by the road. Climb the giant hill. Go down and get in the river on that side and it loops you around to the campground. A fun challenge.

Fishing was great - there were some large rainbows. I would say if you are in a tent DO NOT book site #9. There is no tent pad and no flat space for a tent. They really really need to do some maintenance on this site. Our tent was on a slant. Not really conducive to a good nights sleep. There were a lot that didnt have tent pads but most at least had a flat space. I wish I would have taken a photo!!! But still a great time.

Regardless, it gets five stars for being the rare trail outpost staffed for lodging purposes and a welcome waypoint for the mountain weary.

The trail I think is the perfect length, it does feel a little longer than 2.8 miles out and back. I'd say this is a moderate hike. You can bring dogs on this trail. I don't think it is super friendly for young children. I personally would get pretty exhausted if I had to backpack up my toddler. But for the older kids it would be a good one. Definitely add this one to your list! I think it is my favorite hike I have done so far on the front range!

Once you make that left from US-64 you have about a 3 mile drive up a dirt road and from there you will see the parking lot to the right. The trailhead is easily marked making it almost impossible to miss (#664). The parking lot is fairly small and heavily trafficked so I'd recommend arriving earlier the better. 5 miles down and back. The first mile is mainly switchbacks but smoothes out the remainder of the hike. The aspens showed off their vibrant yellow colors which made the hike that much more enjoyable. The weather can change drastically especially when you make it to the top. It was raining and pretty windy when i got up there so a jacket is highly recommended. As well as good hiking boots as you experience different types of terrain, particularly at the top where it's mainly rocks. There are bathrooms at the trailhead parking lot which is extremely convenient. Especially for my hour drive trek back home to Colorado Springs. Give this hike a go!

Helen Hunt Falls is not something you simply stumble upon. City slickers have to earn it a bit…read more Nearly three miles into North Cheyenne Cañon, the road leaves the city behind. Houses disappear well before the entrance to its mouth or rocky gates west of Starsmore Nature Center. Red granite walls rise closer, pine and cedar lean over the pavement, temperatures drop as the canyon wraps you in cool embrace. Helen Hunt Falls sits within a city park, but it never really feels like one. North Cheyenne Cañon is its own character. Intimate. Shaded. Winding. While the city feels far away, beware the tight hairpin curves and oncoming vehicles. In its own way, it is unique like South Cheyenne Cañon, home to the dramatic Seven Falls. Where Seven Falls dazzles with height and dramatics, this canyon offers its own closeness to stone, forest, and water. It is a place where the road slows, voices soften, and the canyon quietly reminds you how close wilderness can be to a city.
