Rainbow Falls is a waterfall located on Fountain Creek in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The falls' plunge is located beneath a bridge that links Manitou Avenue to Highway 24. The trailhead to the falls is located on a 180 degree bend in Serpintine Drive, about a half mile off of HWY 24 across from the entrance to the Cave of the Winds. As of June 2013, the trail and parking lot are closed for improvement from the El Paso County Parks Department. The falls are known for the large amount of graffiti painted on the canyon walls and bridge overpass.
