Hiking – Black Forest Section 16

If you have a health condition please let me know, and let me know what to do if you need help (where you keep the inhaler, epi pen, etc.)  Txt:  719-569-5555.  You are responsible for your personal first aid kit.  

Nice parking lot with a vault toilet.

Friendly, leash trained, dogs are welcome on this hike.  Please bring water for you and your pup.  Water is not available on the trail.  Be prepared to pick up after your pup and carry it out.  This is a loop trail.  An old peanut butter, or protein powder canister works well for carrying poo bags in a backpack.   

Brunch anyone?  The hike will take 1.5 – 2 hours.  Mountain View Café is 10 minutes from the trailhead, and has a patio on which dogs are welcome.  The address is 11424 Black Forest Rd, Colorado Springs.
