  Great park with tons of trails to choose from. If you like the forest biome, this park is perfect for you. The Hummingbird Trail leads to Pike National Forest and also to Blodgett Peak. There are several hammocking opportunities near the official end of the Hummingbird trail and on the Red Squirrel trail. Great views of north COS and the high plains. Plenty of street parking. Overall I didn’t pass many people on the trails. The forest is very serene. Highly recommend this park for a quick weekend hike.

  Loved going here! This place has great trails to go walking and exploring on. There is plenty of directions to go, with plenty of things to see. I went on a Sunday in the afternoon and it wasn't even busy, there was parking available, but the parking lot is small with only about 10 spaces, the rest of the parking is on the street.

  First time here. Seemed like a nice open space on the lower sections and although extremely steep and most likely slippery regardless of the season (it's either scree or ice) the trail is really nice through the Forrest. You can also link up with other trails and do more than Blodgett peak.

  Trail Series, Part 15
  Ex•hil•a•ra•tion: uncontrolled feelings of euphoria or elation.
  
  I’m sure there’s many ways to arrive at this destination. One of them is running, and running in the snow just takes things to a whole new level for me.
  
  With that in mind, imagine my exhilaration when a Review Team Member suggested we seize the opportunity to run in a snow storm today! 🤯
  
  Blodgett Open Space can be found on West Woodmen Road (just North of Orchard Valley Road) in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
  
  When we arrived it was snowing, 11 degrees, and it would have taken an legion to wipe the smile off my face! 😃
  
  Rejoining our Review Team for this adventure was Jasper “The Mountain Dog”, so our confidence for survival was high.
  
  On several portions of our adventure we enjoyed making “first tracks” in the snow and we basically felt like we had the mountain to ourselves.
  
  We reached a peak elevation of 7,500 feet and discovered that your phone will actually turn itself off as a defense mechanism when it gets too cold.
  
  While our experience was euphoric, we are sadden to report that not all of our Review Team Members returned safely to Base Camp with us 💀 (not true, and yes Jasper is fine. Check the pics and you’ll understand. 😉).
  
  There are multiple trails to explore, so you can tailor your adventure to just how much glee you are prepared for.
  
  While not required for this journey, I found the use of snow micro spikes quite useful (they can be a fitted over your running shoes).
  
  And that’s…Henry’s Take.

  Wow, what an amazing hiking area. Multiple trails split off all across the mountainside. With multiple places to park, access is easy and the views from even a short hike up the trail quickly become breathtaking. After about a mile or so up, the path become much steeper and harder to hike, giving way to rougher terrain, with boulders and large dropoffs. Awesome place to hike and will surely be coming back
