Set against the dramatic backdrop of Colorado Springs, the 1-hr Cañon Nature/Art Tour is a dynamic blend of outdoor adventure and cultural discovery that brings the natural beauty and local artistry of Cheyenne Cañon within easy reach. Launching from the South Cheyenne Cañon Picnic Grounds, this guided segway experience invites travelers to glide effortlessly along some of the region’s most picturesque landscapes, culminating in encounters with kinetic art sculptures that animate this rugged canyon in a way few other outdoor adventures do.
Cheyenne Cañon, located just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, is famed for its steep cliffs, towering Pikes Peak granite formations, and the bubbling South Cheyenne Cañon Creek. The route includes a smooth descent down to the historic Cheyenne Cañon Inn, an iconic local landmark that has welcomed visitors to the canyon since the early 20th century. As the tour progresses, you'll discover Starr Kempf’s larger-than-life kinetic wind sculptures—complex mechanical marvels that move gracefully with the breeze, set against a stunning natural stage.
Venturing beyond the art installation, the tour weaves off-road across a network of scenic nature trails along the creek, offering a fresh perspective on Colorado’s native flora, including Douglas firs and Ponderosa pines. The tour concludes near the Starsmore Discovery Center, a hub for environmental education and one of the best places in the canyon to learn about the area’s unique flora, fauna, and geology. This stop also provides a nice opportunity to stretch your legs before returning.
What truly sets this tour apart is its seamless mix of kinetic art, nature, and history with the thrill of segway riding—making it accessible for adventurers who want an active outdoor experience without intense physical exertion. Whether you’re an art lover eager to see Kempf’s sculptures or a nature enthusiast keen on exploring Cheyenne Cañon’s diverse ecosystem, this one-hour outing delivers an intimate, engaging journey through a lesser-known Colorado gem.
