Rainbow Falls ("Graffiti Falls")

A 45-foot waterfall on Fountain Creek tucked under a road bridge off Serpentine Drive, its canyon walls coated in ever-changing, semi-sanctioned graffiti — locals just call it Graffiti Falls.

The move: Take the short trail in, photograph the falls against the spray-painted rock, and come back another season to see how completely the colors have changed.

Where: Off Serpentine Dr, near Hwy 24 (across from Cave of the Winds), Manitou Springs, CO 80829

Hours: Daytime, year-round; managed by El Paso County Parks. ~$20 parking at 101 Higginbotham Rd.
