Confirmed from The Broadmoor Seven Falls' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park focused on scenic waterfalls & geologic monuments that also has a historic gravesite.
What runners say about The Broadmoor Seven Falls
“You get dropped off at a large iron gate and then walk about a mile through a paved canyon road, the sights are amazingly beautiful!”
This was my favorite thing we did on our vacation to Colorado Springs. We went to the parking area around 8:30-8:45 and got right on a shuttle. The walk up to the falls after getting dropped off by the shuttle was some of the most amazing scenery I've ever experienced.
Make sure to use tge c restroom 🚻 before you go. We had a 15 minute ride and a good walk up to the first restroom. But the views are awesome. Great elevator up to the lookout or walk the short stair climb. The climb to the 7 falls was hard but you take breaks as you make the climb.
Worth the drive! Expect a 0.8-mile hike with lots of steep stairs and a unique perspective of the falls. Note that you have to park off-site and take a shuttle to the entrance. The shuttle wait times on the way back can be long, but the incredible views make up for it.
Be prepared to walk and then climb... You get dropped off at a large iron gate and then walk about a mile through a paved canyon road, the sights are amazingly beautiful! Bring your camera! Then when you reach the waterfall there are A LOT of stairs that lead up to the trails...I think someone said 250...

“You get dropped off at a large iron gate and then walk about a mile through a paved canyon road, the sights are amazingly beautiful!”
“Only complaint is the shuttle service from the parking lot was disorganized - they need a walkie talkie system so guests know when the next shuttle will arrive.”
“The walk to the bottom of the falls, the climb up the falls, the falls themselves, and the different hikes at the top were awesome!”
“We had a wonderful experience with transportation to, from and inside the park with our daughter who is in a wheelchair.”
