Helen Hunt Falls, Waterfall in North Cheyenne Canyon, Colorado Springs, US

Helen Hunt Falls is a waterfall on Cheyenne Creek in North Cheyenne Cañon Park, Colorado Springs, reached directly off North Cheyenne Canyon Road. The creek drops over the rock face into a pool below, and the Columbine Trail ends at the falls. A moderately steep trail of about 2/3 of a mile (1.1 km) climbs from the falls to Silver Cascade Falls.

The falls are named for Helen Maria Hunt Jackson (1830–1885), a poet and writer who became an activist for improved treatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government. She died in San Francisco in 1885 and was later buried in Colorado Springs. The source gives no naming date.

The falls carry the name of Helen Maria Hunt Jackson, the 19th-century poet and writer who campaigned for better treatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government. She died in San Francisco in 1885 and was buried in Colorado Springs, the city the waterfall overlooks.

The waterfall is easy to reach from a paved parking area near the visitor center at the canyon entrance. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable conditions, with moderate temperatures and safe walking paths.

During winter months, the falling water freezes into shimmering ice formations that create different sculptural shapes against the cliff. These icy structures develop only under specific cold conditions and transform the falls into a completely different sight than visitors see in warmer seasons.
