Helen Hunt Falls, Waterfall in North Cheyenne Canyon, Colorado Springs, US
The 35-foot cascade forms a vertical water column flowing down granite rocks surrounded by dense pine forest in North Cheyenne Canyon Park.
The waterfall received its name in 1966 to honor Helen Hunt Jackson, a 19th-century writer and advocate for Native American rights.
The falls connect to multiple hiking trails, including the Columbine Trail and Silver Cascade Falls path, drawing outdoor enthusiasts year-round.
Visitors can access the waterfall through a paved parking area near The Cub visitor center, which operates from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
During winter months, the falling water transforms into ice formations, creating different shapes against the rocky cliff face.
