Additional Details:
Helen Hunt Jackson, one of America's famous novelists and poet, was laid to rest on the side of Cheyenne Mountain in South Cheyenne Canon, near Colorado Springs. It was her desire that tourists visiting her grave should deposit two stones on the heap that forms her monument and take on eaway as a souvenir. Her Indian nove, "Ramona," is one of her best known works. From the top of Seven Falls, in South Cheyenne Canon, to Helen Hunt's grave is a distance of three-fourths of a mile. There is a good trail, and one can either walk or ride a burro to this spot.
