Did this hike for the first time June 18, 2020.
Great hike, amazing photo opportunities, good amount of shade and overall a great workout. Can't wait to hike it again.
We did the 6 mile loop counter-clockwise. (most people go clockwise). Going that way, the first 2 miles of the hike gets quite steep and goes straight up, without many switchbacks. But when you get to the top of the ridge it is all worth it. There are great views up there. The last 4 miles are mostly downhill with lots of shade and babbling streams on the way back to the parking area. My wife and I loved this hike!
Awesome hike. Great cardio. If you need an alternative to the Incline! A little difficult to pick the right path for the first half mile or so l but once you’re on it officially it’s easy to follow but not easy to hike. Bring water and energy.
A nice intermediate trail with great views along the way. Some parts of the pathway may be made up of mainly loose gravel, uneven terrain, tripping hazards, and steep inclines. The pathways are mainly 2 person wide. Typical characteristics of a typical hiking trail, no surprise. Take the plunge, took about 30 mins to get to the top with no breaks, just walking. Happy trails everyone!
It is a nice trail. Some parts are rocky and steep.
For me it took two hours and 40 minutes to complete the whole loop with average speed 4.2 km per hour. I was also lost twice and had to go back to where I was.
Total loop is about 10 km. The top elevation is 2355 m.

Next was a 1300 foot descent (Section 16) that had loads of chunky rock and lots of lines that needed chosen. I was used to chunk, living in Texas, but nowhere near that grade and not for a Section 16 Trailhead - Colorado Springs Hike - Продолжительность: 12:13 FoorYourSuccess 2 877 просмотров.
