Hike Pulpit Rock
Heading South on N. Nevada Blvd. you will pass a Harley Davidson dealership on your left, about a mile after that there is a large parking lot for Pulpit Rock Park. Once you park, there is a clearly marked trailhead that will get you on your way! There are various trails you can take to get the top of Pulpit Rock, some of which will take you in a loop if you choose, or you can go out and back. ...
Hike Eagle's Peak (USAFA)
This is a short trail that goes very high in elevation. In about 1.25 miles you can go about 2000ish feet in elevation change. You need to wait till 9am to start the hike as it sits on the US Airforce Academy. It is definitely worth it. Bring shoes that can handle the rocky terrain.You take the first right after you pass the pond and hike up from the trail head. The Academy has asked that peopl...
Hike to Blodgett Peak
Getting There
Google Maps + "Blodgett Peak Open Space"= Easy Peasy. The parking lot only accommodates 11 cars with a one of those reserved for handicap. A port-a-potty is the only facility available at the trail head, so plan accordingly.
The Hike
Starting out at about 7,000 feet the first mile is along a wide path, dirt road. However, starting at around 1.25 miles the trail steepens and the c...
Mt. Herman & 715 Loop

The area between Monument and the mountain hosts a large network of meandering trails that are great for trail running and mountain biking. Our hike today starts at the uppermost parking lot, although you could begin at the lower lot if you want more distance.
The Hike: To get to this u...
Run the Yucca Flats Trails at Palmer Park
The Basics:It might be easy to overlook Palmer Park if you're planning an adventure outing in Colorado Springs, but definitely don't discount this inner-city oasis! It took me many years to memorize Palmer Park's confusing trail system (the trail maps don't help), but whether this will be your first or fiftieth run here, I think that the Yucca Flats area is the best place to start for many reas...
Palmer Lake Reservoir Trail
This hike starts with a steep uphill, and if that doesn't take your breath away, the views of the lakes definitely will. After the uphill slog, you'll immediately reach the lower reservoir. On still mornings, it offers perfect reflections of its surroundings. The trail continues along its northern shore and gently works its way to Palmer Lake.
You'll go through a meadow that, in the summer, ...
