Hiking – Spruce Mountain Trail

This will be a 5.5 mile casually-paced hike.  We will travel and take breaks as a group.  The plan is to ascend to the Spruce Mountain Trail loop from the parking lot and travel the loop clockwise. Along the way, you’ll be able to enjoy views of Pikes Peak, Rampart Range, Eagle Mountain and the Palmer Divide.

There could be muddy spots on the trail from recent rains.

Meet at the trailhead at 6:45a.  This parking lot can fill up on the weekends so we're going to get an early start to beat the crowds.
