It offers beautiful views at the top after a tough climb and then a wonderful and gradual decline back down to a dirt road (also leads to trail 666) and then to the main road.

I love this trail! To do the whole loop it's about 6 miles. I've only done it counter-clockwise…read more So it starts with a good two miles of mostly uphill before you start a gentle downhill stroll through the woods. The trail is popular, but rarely packed. Great views. Wonderful workout or super chill walk, depending on how you feel like going.

I've run this trail and summited Muscoco at least 30 times and it never disappoints. I live just…read moreoutside the canyon and have done it all in there many times. If you want to ramp it up a bit from Cutler or Seven Bridges, this should be on your radar. If you go straight up and down you'll wind up at almost exactly 4 miles with about 1,325ft of elevation gain. Tack on Cutler for an extra (almost) mile and a few hundred feet of gain. Starting at Daniels or Bruin to make a loop via Sweetwater is also a good one. Starting at the Middle Columbine trailhead and catching Creekside first is also a nice variation. Ice sticks around pretty good, especially near the trailhead, so you might want to bring traction even though the current weather might not seem like you'd need it.

Easily my favorite hike in Colorado Springs! Located in north Cheyenne canyon with a parking area…read more I prefer the traditional route, but you can also do daniels pass to the summit. It's about a 5 mile hike with elevation but it's a great moderate hike with stunning views of Pike's Peak's backside. This is a great hike to take visitors on as it's not too difficult but very rewarding and beautiful. A nice perk is that it's right here in town. Even my cat has done this hike a few times and she loves it!

Aww bummer! One of the bridges had a blowdown so we only crossed six; it's okay though, it's still…read moreas lovely as I recalled from a previous trip! I took a LEGO mini me, but sadly my not-so-nimble fingers had her never to be seen again. (Sorry about the leave no trace principle!) Everything about this place is amazing! My friend and I follow YouTuber Miranda Goes Outside, so as to pay homage to her, we chanted "Bridge, bridge, bridge, bridge bridge," as we made our way across going out and coming back. We even had our resident hiker friend join us on a couple. lol Seriously, it's a great space and always want to go. Being in Nature is refreshing.

My son and I hiked Seven Bridges trail on Easter morning. This is a very gentle out and back that…read moremost any ability can tackle with complete ease. The hike itself was absolutely stunning Sunday morning. The weather had shaped up nicely and while it was covered with snow, it didn't require crampons (I went in trail runners). As snow melted and fell from the pines, it felt like a magical playground. The bridges are all very close to each other, the water rushing along side most of this hike made for the most tranquil morning. I can't imagine this trail being anymore beautiful than it was this past weekend. I've seen glimpses of it in the summer from videos of trail runs and while it's gorgeous then I am so grateful to have experienced it covered in a layer of snow, icicles hanging, sun shining and simply splendid from the moment we parked the car at the trailhead. Highly recommend!

We didn't all the way to the reservoir, but could see it on the way to the creek and kn the way back. There is one part with a cliff that was great for photos. Parking is limited either at the park or across from Wines of Colorado (not in their lot, the dirt lot nearby). The trailhead is just across the bridge at the edge of the neighborhood there.

This is a nice trail that is well paved and offers scenic views through the majority of its area…read more The trail runs along a baseball field, a soccer field, the Garden of the Gods Trailer Park, some houses and a major road (US 24). There is also Fountain Creek that runs along a large portion of it as well. I saw some seating along the trail route too which was very nice. The trail is wide and full paved, suitable for runners, walker, joggers and bicyclists. It is used primarily as a connector trail, connecting Manitou Springs to the City of Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail. It also feeds into the Pikes Peak Greenway, American the Beautiful Park, Olympic Museum, the Foothills Trail, and Red Rock Canyon Open Space. It is maintained by the City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services The park can be accessed from a few spots including American the Beautiful Park, the west end at Manitou Springs Skate Park, and Fields Park. There is free parking available at these parks and the trail can be accessed from other spots as well, including Red Rock Canyon Open Space, even though it may be a bit of a walk to get thee. The trail runs 8 miles and cross the street in a couple of points. Their website claims that the trail is known for having alternatively housed individuals on it. I was out on the trail early in the morning and was the only person in sight on it. I enjoyed my time on the trail. It is an easy trail to navigate. It is in excellent shape, pretty level, and scenic. I felt safe while on the trail. If you are in search of a trail while in Manitou or Colorado Springs, this is one to consider.

There is no cost, but since part of the trail is on their property you have to sign the waiver. The trail is shaded for most of the trail. The begining is the hottest part! You will see water falls and punch bowls. The trail can be difficult in some areas, but nothing kids 5 and up can't handle! If you need directions how to get to this trail, just let me know and I can give you turn by turn with street names!
