We had gone our second day in a row to the Garden of the Gods, and I hiked all around where the boulders and the rocks were. The first day we walked mostly on a straight paved area because we had a stroller with us and somehow I fell on normal pavement near the parking lot. Was it embarrassing? Yes. Did I also bruise up my whole leg on the first stop of our epic road trip from Texas? Also yes. It was really fun coming right before sunset, because the lighting was absolutely gorgeous. But it was also fun coming at around sunrise because it just felt so beautiful and fresh and the weather was amazing even though it was July. It was really hot during the day. But the early morning got a bit cooler, and I would definitely recommend to come then!

If you aren't one to drive up the treacherous switchbacks, you can take the cog railway. It's a toll road so you'll have to pay either way, although if you drive the peak may be closed occasionally due to harsh winds and weather - there was a tornado three years ago on the mountain! If you decide to drive, there are several shops on the way. I would recommend heading straight up to the summit if it's open just so you get that out of the way before any chance of inclement weather spoils your plans. There's a roomy carpark at the top, and the visitor center has washrooms, gift shop, cafeteria, and also a small museum regarding the history of the mountain. I definitely felt breathless at the top, from the beauty or the thin air, I'm not sure...

Definitely worth doing and driving up vs the cog railway or shuttle. Entry was $18 per head.

She said that if/when I write a review for the visitor center I NEED to make sure I acknowledge Ethan. Mahalo nui e Ethan.

Very nice place to visit! I went there once almost 30 years ago, and the visit has remained one of…read moremy favorite memories about Colorado. So much has changed compared to today! The waterfall is still beautiful though! As mentioned in other reviews, I would highly recommend making your reservation online before your visit. Try to get the earliest time slot available. Also, wear good walking shoes and bring enough water! It seems like the way you get to Seven Falls has changed quite a bit. I don't remember having to park downhill and take a shuttle to the entrance. The walk to the waterfall, although still beautiful, also feels narrower and more developed than I remember. There are more walkways and structures along the way, which make the experience feel a little more tourist-oriented, or, as I kept thinking, a little "Disneyfied." It's still a beautiful walk, but perhaps not quite as natural or rustic as I remember it from 30 years ago. We went on a Sunday morning in September, and the weather was beautiful. We arrived shortly after 9 a.m. and had no trouble finding parking. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for the next shuttle. If you purchased your tickets ahead of time, they simply scan them while you're waiting in line, so the process was very quick. The shuttle drops you off by the big fence. From there, you walk to the waterfall. It is an uphill walk, but not too steep, and the walkway follows alongside a beautiful stream. Along the way, there is a tunnel you can walk through, with an elevator at the end that takes you to a viewpoint and gift shop. There is also a staircase outside the tunnel that takes you to the same place. You can take the elevator back down or choose to use the stairs. After some more walking, you reach the waterfall. There is a seating area at the bottom where you can relax and enjoy the view. There are 224 stairs to climb if you want to get to the top of the waterfall, but that part is optional. You can admire the waterfall from the bottom. The stairs to the top are definitely tiring! Use the handrails whenever you can, and don't hesitate to stop and rest if you need to. Once you reach the top, there are two trails you can take for further exploration--one is shorter (20 min. round trip) and the other is longer (40 min.). There are signs to guide you. All of the staff members we encountered were friendly and helpful.

Seven Falls was absolutely, positively beautiful in every way. Words can't even describe it, but…read morehopefully these photos can convince you. Seven Falls started out with a semi-short shuttle ride to the actual scenery. From there, it just got more amazing. I understand how the steps could be strenuous for many, and it definitely wasn't easy, but a little stop to catch your breath is provided about midway through. I saw a couple people who didn't feel up to finishing the steps stopping at the rest point, taking some photos, and coming back down. The views were still stunning from that height. Heck, they're stunning from any height or viewpoint. There was also a little shop with delicious popsicles located before the steps. Clean bathrooms along the way as well. It all just seemed very well-thought-out. This was also partially due to the employees, who were all very helpful and pleasant. To put it simply, Seven Falls has it all-it's beautiful, clean, and unique. Amazing in every aspect, stunning from every angle. I felt immersed in the mountainscape from the first step out of that shuttle.

Whether you're stopping in Georgetown to 'tourist' or just passing by, an easily accessible and clean place to 'pit-stop' is always welcome. They have a small, but cute gift shop with an assortment of Colorado mountain-style gifts (surprise!). There are also vending machines in the center with assorted beverages and snacks. And of course there are maps and various brochures for local attractions. And staff to answer your questions. I live somewhat locally and pass through Georgetown a few times a year. I do wish they would repair the locks on the couple of restroom stalls that don't lock. Minor nit, but I've noticed the door-locks on the same stalls being broken (or still broken) every time I'm there. Also the last time I was here (last week), I thought I saw only three picnic tables in their nice tree-shaded grassy area next to the parking lot. Didn't there used to be more? I always thought it would be a decent spot to stop and have a picnic, but with so few tables... Budget cuts pretty much suck.

I know a lot of people drive up from Texas, but it's for a good reason...we just don't have the mountains, and the amount of waterfalls in our area. If you have to choose one thing to do, I would definitely choose to come to helen hunt falls. Its adventurous enough to feel like you actually did something, but safe enough to know that you are able to go to a small store to get snacks or use a bathroom if needed. I chose to not hike up to the falls, and instead go down into the river bank. The rocks are very slippery, so be careful. The water is really cold, but it's so refreshing on a hot July day. We had a blast coming here. And one of the best things is that it was absolutely free! I would definitely come here again, and I'm already making sure it's on our list for next time!
