Where the Waterfalls Are
Evergreen sits in or near the Pikes Peak, Sangre de Cristo and Sawatch area of Colorado. South of Denver, falls are tucked into canyons at the foot of high, steep ranges. Helen Hunt Falls in North Cheyenne Canon near Colorado Springs is one of the state's most visited, since it sits beside a road with a trail leading higher. In the San Luis Valley, Zapata Falls hides inside a narrow rock crevice in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, reached by wading over slippery stones. The Wet Mountains and Sangres around Westcliffe, and the Sawatch Range near Buena Vista, add falls fed by snowfields on fourteeners and high ridges. These eastern slopes are drier than the Divide country, so flows drop faster in late summer. Read the Colorado waterfall guide.
