The Broadmoor Seven Falls Photography Guide

Deep inside South Cheyenne Cañon, The Broadmoor Seven Falls presents a scene shaped by time and natural force. The approach sets the mood immediately: massive granite walls soaring upward, narrowing the sky to a thin strip above, and filling the air with the roar of 181 feet of rushing water.

Stepping off the elevator at the Eagle’s Nest high above the canyon floor, the entire cascade unfolds in one dramatic vista for your wide-angle shot of all seven tiers.

For close-up work, your first option presents itself right at the bottom as you approach the base of the staircase, capturing the full power of the lower cascades.

As you begin the climb, a second up-close perspective awaits on the platform positioned halfway up the length of the stairs, allowing you to isolate the rushing water at eye level.

Moving closer to the base of the falls, the mist hits your face and the thunder of the water reverberates through the canyon walls.

As late afternoon arrives, harsh sunlight slowly backs out of the canyon, casting a cool, soft shadow across the water around 5:00 PM. While most visitors head out as the upper trails close at 7:00 PM, staying behind reveals the park in a different light. Because the lower canyon remains accessible for evening dining, the area quietens significantly. Later in the evening, with the sun dropped well below the high canyon rims, daylight still fills the air while the canyon floor settles into smooth, even shade—allowing the roaring water to soften into a luminous veil against the darkening stone.
