On the eastern flank of the southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado Springs abuts steep foothills, escarpments and pine-covered ridges that give way to narrow gorges and high mesas. Nearby waterfall hikes span short roadside cascades and gentle forest walks to moderate canyon scrambles and a few strenuous, high-elevation climbs, with seasonal snowmelt producing variable flows and a single drive-up access for quick visits.
