HELEN HUNT FALLS VISITOR CENTER

This visitor center is nestled at the foot of Helen Hunt Falls in North Cheyenne Cañon Park. Also known as the “Cub”, so named because it was part of the Bruin Inn - check out our Park history! This new visitor center was designed, built, and furnished with funds from the Friends of Cheyenne Cañon, with a large portion of that funding coming from donations from the Bristol Brewery in the sale of their seasonal release Cañon Nut Brown Ale. This multi-year effort brought together community businesses, the City Parks department, and FOCC volunteers to create a beautiful site to enjoy the Cañon. At the Cub, visitors can experience the area through interpretive exhibits, scheduled hikes and walks, and by talking with the informative staff and Park Ambassadors on site.
