Hike and Camp

  • Barr Trail

    Barr Trail

    Barr Trail is a very popular trail that takes you through a variety of vegetation zones as you make your way up Pikes Peak. Since the trail’s length to the summit is almost thirteen miles one way and the total elevation gain is over 7500 feet, many hikers opt to go only part way up the trail or to spend the night at Barr Camp and make it a two-day excursion. The scrub oak near the base of the trail transitions to pine and aspen forests, wildflower meadows, and finally the stunted, brave vegetation growing near treeline. The higher you are in altitude, the more likely you are to hear the chirp of marmots and the “squeak toy” noise of pikas.
  • Ring the Peak Trail

    Ring the Peak Trail

    The Ring the Peak trail system is a large project still in progress. As the name suggests, the trail will eventually form a loop around Pikes Peak.

    The vast majority has been completed, granting us long stretches of trail in beautifully remote areas of the foothills. While it is not yet continuous, the total length is about 63 miles. Often, the trail coincides with other trails.

  • Sondermann Park
