Trail Overview
This great little trail offers much to explore. This trail branches off of Mt Herman Road and follows along the top of a ridge heading east. The majority of the trail is surrounded by a dense population of pine trees, however, this opens up in a couple of areas and reveals the beautiful surrounding valleys and Colorado Springs in the distance. Long, steep sections retain ice and snow in the winter and cause difficulty with limited traction. Numerous campsites and areas to explore make this route a great afternoon or weekend getaway. For a full day of trail adventure, pair this with some of the other nearby trails in the Mt. Herman area.
