An Escape for Every Outdoor Adventurer

When it comes to hiking in Colorado Springs, there are a few spots that stand out to the crowds: Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, and the Manitou Incline. But sitting among the many peaks of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, there are plenty of trails to explore beyond the expected. Did you know that we have more than 50 mountains over 14,000 feet tall? Strengthen your hiking skills on the 4-mile round trip route up Mount Cutler. Enjoy the journey as you gain a new perspective with the view of Colorado Springs far below. Or, take on one of the bucket list 14ers with a trek up Barr Trail toward the summit of Pikes Peak. The 26.2-mile round trip hike will test your limits, but the trail shows hikers a wide range of the area’s beauty from the trailhead in Manitou Springs to the ecosystem above tree line. This spot is worth a day-trip for any adventurers looking for a more challenging hike or to check a fourteener off their list!
