Environment, Hikes

Hiking in the Clouds of Colorado Springs

As a lifelong backpacker and hiker, I often use speeches to explore state and federal parks in different states. This weekend was a particular delight. I was able to take a day after speaking at the Tenth Circuit judicial conference in Colorado Springs to explore some of the trails in the North and South Cheyenne forest and the spectacular Seven Falls areas.  Colorado is paradise for hikers and Colorado Springs has endless choices within an hour or so drive. It was raining but the effect was spellbinding as I hiked among the clouds at around 7500 feet in elevation. I wanted to share some of the photos.

While the weather was not ideal for mountain hiking (particularly with heightened lightning strike dangers on these trails), it worked out wonderfully in terms of the almost Monet-like surroundings. The Broadmoor controls the Seven Falls park and it costs $17 to enter. It is worth the money. You have a steep set of stairs for the first leg and then you are on your own.

The Cheyenne trials are next to Seven Falls. I started out on the Chamberlain trail but wandered around the park area in the north and south trails.

I have done Seven Falls before and it always reminds me of my favorite movie growing up Jeremiah Johnson in its incredible views.

Here are some of the photos:

  1. Beautiful landscape in Colorado. We’re in Denver but the whole state is scenic and lovely. Glad you enjoyed a hike after your always brilliant and insightful speeches.

  2. Turley needs to be the lawyer he was….when area 51 was a fiction……But yet true. Turkey needs to speak up for what he knows as fact. He knows the saudis did it…911….he knows the saudis did maher die killer in. He knows that’s things…And he knows pleasing with the masterminds….is not in America’s interest…….he knows cases with standing to stop such shennigans….But acts progressively and progressively without courage….he’s a coward….when america needs him most. To not by acquainted commit default …dormant treason!

  3. I beg you to look into angel a maher. You’ll find her Arab friends made quick work of her killer. Because Bush made up quick work expediting asap all of them! Killers who plan n it for a long damn time….now Biden forgives them….what plucking planet does he live on? He gives them a plea? You thought did suicide was high before over broken promises….this plea takes the funding king cake! No self respect ring American should ever volunteer again! Ever!

    1. Thousand Island is tasty, but Blue Cheese dressing is nice also. Completes your word salad perfectly.

  4. What a great way to celebrate life – walking in the clouds! Those pics made me feel very nostalgic. Thanks, Jonathan. I think the Cascades are calling you . . . on line one. lol.

  7. Thanks, Professor Turley, for the beautiful Colorado photos. If you haven’t already, you should hike the Cascade Mountains and the Olympic Mountains in Washington State. They’re also spectacular.

    2. Yeah he takes this trips courtesy of the tax payer…..announced one. Trips taxpayers don’t get…..And while there ignores how the “Davos ” ppl did that gal……in. Called Peter a domestic when he memories can well she was killed that we by saudis. Perverts. This story will end badly for turley….bc us Intel know s for a fact….the girl was killed by Davos Saudi perverts. At jacksonhole. The U.S. Sheriffs also know other kids destined there for pay. Like from itasca…..it’s going to be ugly with state and federal campers. Yet he brags about being at the broadmore….on what grounds…professor!

        3. “unafriad”…means….. “No fear for me”……like on page 16 of scalia’s dissent. In Arizona vs US…..567 us x in 2012. Read it when you have time. And I have “no fear for me”…… I can say anything….without fear….for me because…in their system…..I’m one of their “used ” paranoid schizophenics….cover stories. Plausible denialability. ….used to rule. No more. It’s been 25 years….my agreement not to de-classify a is over!

          1. On and the phenolix lights? That was a joint exercise out of tonapaw then. FRom Area 51….before Clinton declassified it. Foia what jsoc was doing there at tonapaw. … In a joint exercise. It’s been 25 years. But as the big guy said…none will remember…..or do we remember? Some drugs in the water just didn’t work…..pity for them…..now they have to murder who do remember…..But there are so many of us that would be too obvious.. So obvious…I can only say good luck!

      2. ‘Jaelyn unafraid’: if you run into her (it, them, zir, etc.), be VERY afraid! Some of it might rub off on you.

    3. Baits all about Turlyy life….never about the 50% from the 15 percent……it’s all about the elite….never about the common man.

    4. Covid 19 & the mRNA death is just the extended plan of 1913 & 911.

      This powerful video from investigator James Corbett explains the “official story” of the 9/11 attacks in way that any reasonable person will think it was a total Inside Job.

      ‘Alex’s War’, the explosive documentary that goes behind the scenes at Infowars and has unprecedented personal interviews with Alex Jones, is NOW available at the Infowars Store!

  10. Professor,
    Thank you for posting the photos. I’ve missed visiting that magical place. When the mist and rain share the atmosphere with the scented Ponderosa pines and other evergreens, it creates a magnificence that is second only to the scenery.
