Colorado Springs Hiking & Parks

Jen D: Start up the mesa trail, then branch off on one of the many loops. Customize your hike!

Chris Moody: The cog railroad is a great way to get to the top!

John Creasey: Check out balance rock - you can take a picture or you 'holding' the rock :-)

Chantal Legendre: Nice trail. Far enough off the road so you don't worry about traffic. While I was walking I saw many bicyclist, a person in a wheelchair, and a father pushing a stroller. Welcome to all!

Krista Moore: Go at day and night. It's two totally different, awesome experiences.

Cris Stoddard: Bit of a tourist stop, come early if you want to snap photos

askmehfirst: Nothing like driving right up to the Water Falls or continuing around the corner for an awesome drive down the mountain.

National Wildlife Federation: Wildlife watch for Pygmy Nuthatch Read more.

David L: Great hiking trail around the park and up the back hill. Nice views of the city.

Andrea O'Neill: If you go to Monument Valley Park and enter from the Nevada side, there is a great little stone circle that is perfect for full moons!

Karen Meenan: Get there early on weekends because parking can be a problem.
