3370 W High Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
A 5.5-mile loop in the Bear Creek/Stratton area with steady switchbacks, scrub-oak ridges, and big payoff views over the city — the locals' favorite "real" hike near downtown.
13 Hydro St, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
The legendary 13-mile, 7,500-vertical-foot trail to the summit of Pikes Peak — the full hike is a serious mountaineering day, but the lower miles are a great moderate Manitou hike on their own.
3440 N Cheyenne Canyon Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
A 35-foot waterfall right beside the road in North Cheyenne Cañon, with a short stone staircase up to the taller Silver Cascade Falls behind it. Low effort, high payoff — perfect first hike in town.
10 Old Mans Trail, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
The famous 2,744-step climb up an old cable-car bed — a one-mile workout that gains 2,000 feet of elevation. Not a gentle introduction to altitude, but an unforgettable one.
3550 W High St, Colorado Springs, CO 80904
A quieter, dog-friendly alternative to Garden of the Gods — 1,474 acres of red sandstone, old quarry walls, and 15+ miles of interconnected trails with views of Pikes Peak at every turn.
Iron Mountain Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829
A 6-mile traverse linking Manitou Springs to Section 16 along the foothills — varied scrub, granite outcrops, and the best ridge-line view of Pikes Peak you can get without climbing it.
N Cheyenne Canyon Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
A gentle 2-mile out-and-back in North Cheyenne Cañon with a knockout summit view of Seven Falls, downtown Colorado Springs, and the eastern plains — one of the best effort-to-reward ratios in the city.
Gold Camp Rd Trailhead, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
A shaded 3.5-mile out-and-back that follows North Cheyenne Creek, crossing — you guessed it — seven wooden bridges. One of the most kid-friendly "real" hikes in town.
1305 Vindicator Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919
A 340-acre pocket of wild land tucked into the city's north side, with rock outcroppings, pine woods, and rolling singletrack popular with trail runners and mountain bikers.
