Conservation – Pikes Peak - Barr Trail - Barr Camp

Here’s the complete plan:  On Sept 14, catch the Cog at 8 AM.  Your parking cost will be reimbursed for the Dillon parking lot, 134 Manitou Ave.  You will ride the COG 6 mi’s up to the Mountain View trail.  From there, it is a 1 ½ mi. hike to Barr Camp. Check in with the Barr Camp caretakers.  Work days will be Sept 14 & 15. On the morning of Sept 16, hike 1 ½ mi’s back to Mountain View siding to catch the COG at approximately 11 AM for your ride back to Manitou Springs, either walk back to your vehicle at Dillon p/l or catch the free shuttle near the COG Station.

Thanking you for your help:  Besides the COG rides, the caretakers will feed you well (some special meals) for all B/L/D during your stay, and offer free drinks, snacks, showers, lodging (bunk) and protective clothing as needed.
