One of the most popular in the state is Pikes Peak, near Colorado Springs, at a lofty 14,115 feet tall. Many trails ascend to the top, including the most popular, the 13-mile Barr Trail.

Red Rock Canyon

It has many trails for visitors to love. The hiking can be pretty easy or more difficult, and the sights are spectacular.
Hikers can walk up and over the rocks and look down across the land for spectacular views of Garden of the Gods.
Pets on a leash are welcome here, making it an ideal place for exercising with a furry friend. Bikers also appreciate the miles of challenging trails at Red Rock. Longer, more difficult trails are also available towards the back of the open space if hikers are looking for something more demanding.

Cheyenne Mountain State Park

This natural area is home to roughly 20 miles of trails and campsites. As hikers make their way up to Cheyenne Mountain, the trails get harder and the scenery gets lovelier.
