RMOTHG Trip – Meyer Ranch Park - Legault Mountain

After hiking up the Meyer Ranch trails in a zig-zag we will ascend the very steep sort-of-trail to the top of Legault Mountain. We will have views of Pikes Peak to the south. Then we'll climb up another outcropping for fine views of Mount Blue Sky and other Front Range mountains. Please Read Leader's Notes below.

  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 5.9
  • Elevation Gain: 1,330 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 9,050 ft
  • Pace: Moderate

Please bring your MICROspikes, just in case we need them.  The last part of the hike up to the top of Legault Mountain is very steep (340' gained over 0.3 miles).

Please look for a pre-hike email on Tuesday.

Here's my COTREX Route, if you scroll down to the elevation profile and move the little dot, you can see the direction of travel.
