Trip
Hiking – Aiken Canyon Trail
A moderate to easy (depending on conditions) amble through the Nature Conservancy's preserve south of Colorado Springs. We'll do the out and back into the canyon (where it can get pretty nippy) and then up to the high point for a break and a view toward the Sangres.
