RMOTHG Trip – Reynolds Park

We will hike a scenic loop cresting at the Eagle's Nest overlook where we will eat a snack and enjoy the great view southeast all the way to Pikes Peak.

  • Mileage: 4.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,000 ft

From the Reynolds Ranch Trailhead, we will slowly climb the Elkhorn Loop and Raven’s Roost Trails to the Eagle’s View Trail.  Shortly after entering the Eagle’s View Trail, the gradient lessens and the hike becomes more enjoyable.  After stopping at the Eagle’s Nest Overlook to eat a snack and enjoy the view, we will descend the Eagle’s View, Oxen Draw and Elkhorn Loop trails back to the trailhead.

Please arrive at the Morrison PnR, 3485 S Rooney Rd., by 7:30 am for a prompt departure at 7:45 am.  From there we will drive 21.2 miles to the Reynolds Park Trailhead, 13649 S Foxton Rd.  The carpool expense for the round trip will be $20 split among the passengers in each vehicle.
