Colorado Springs, Colorado - Seven Falls Holiday Lights Display

Every year during the holidays thousands of residents and visitors to the Colorado Springs area flock to Seven Falls to view the brilliant Christmas light display.

Seven Falls is located just ten minutes from downtown Colorado Springs via Cheyenne Blvd. and is open every day at they year except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and New Years Day. A brilliant display of holiday lights can be viewed on other days including Christmas Day.

Seven Falls cascades 181 feet falling in seven distinct ledges down a solid cliff of pikes peak granite. The water of the Falls is crystal clear which makes the Christmas light display clearly visible. Located next to the Falls is a 224-step stairway that leads to a system of trails that will take you to "Midnight Falls" and then onto Inspiration Point.
