Rainbow Falls, Natural waterfall in Manitou Springs, Colorado, US
Rainbow Falls cascades down 45 feet along Fountain Creek, creating pools beneath the Highway 24 Bridge in El Paso County, Colorado.
The Highway 24 Bridge spanning over Rainbow Falls was constructed in 1932 and earned recognition in the National Register of Historic Bridges.
The Ute Indian tribe regarded Rainbow Falls as a sacred location before the arrival of modern infrastructure and development in the area.
Visitors can access the falls through a gravel trail from the parking area off Highway 24 and Serpentine Drive near Cave of the Winds.
The canyon walls surrounding Rainbow Falls display numerous graffiti artworks, leading to its alternative name of Graffiti Falls.
