Englemann Canyon, Natural canyon in Colorado, United States
Englemann Canyon follows Ruxton Creek through steep mountain walls, featuring large boulders and diverse tree species including Ponderosa pine and Engelmann spruce.
In 1880, the establishment of Manitou Trail through Englemann Canyon led to the construction of the Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway in 1890.
The canyon housed the hamlet of Minnehaha in the late 19th century, with multiple cabins serving as residences for local settlers.
The canyon contains several marked trails and viewpoints, including Artist's Glen, Minnehaha Falls, Son-of-a-Gun Hill, Hells Gate, and Ruxton Park.
A hydroelectric power plant built in 1925 continues to generate electricity using the natural flow of Ruxton Creek into Manitou Springs.
