South Cheyenne Canon, Natural canyon in Colorado Springs, United States.

South Cheyenne Cañon is a canyon about 4.5 miles southwest of downtown Colorado Springs, where Cheyenne Boulevard splits into the north and south cañons. Its mouth exposes Pierre Shale and Sawatch Sandstone, and the canyon walls near Seven Falls rise more than 200 feet in multi-colored granite. The Pillars of Hercules wall stands over 1,000 feet tall.

The canyon was first developed starting in 1872 when Nathaniel Colby secured a large area including natural waterfalls. Shortly after, developers began creating organized trails to make the location accessible to visitors.

South Cheyenne Cañon drew photographers, burro-line operators and curio shops by 1898, and a burro stand later ran in Stratton Park, opened in 1902 where the north and south cañons meet. Lilian Whiting wrote in 1906 of bridle paths and terraced drives on the mountain walls. Picnicking is allowed along South Cheyenne Creek but not on the Seven Falls property.

The entrance is just a few kilometers southwest of downtown Colorado Springs and is relatively easy to reach. Parking and facilities are located near the starting points of the main trails.

Helen Hunt Jackson often visited Inspiration Point above Seven Falls; the trail there is a one-mile round trip taking about an hour and looks out over Colorado Springs and the plains. As she wished, she was first buried at the point before being moved to Evergreen Cemetery.
