Colorado Springs Outdoor

Trails, mountain weather, races, climbs, and the planning calls only locals make right.

The outdoor angle is the easy Colorado Springs pitch: 14,115 feet of Pikes Peak, three Open Space parks within ten minutes of downtown, Garden of the Gods doing 4-5M visits a year, and a trail system that runs from Cheyenne Mountain to Palmer Park. The interesting work is the planning — what's passable in March, where the wind shuts down a ridge run, which trailheads fill by 7am on a Saturday, which races are worth training for. This page is that. Trails by season, races, climbing reports, the gear shops that actually stock the right stuff.
