The Edna Mae Bennett Nature Trail is a great 2.5 mile, well-marked loop around the unique sandstone bluffs and stubby towers in Palmer Park. The dirt trail takes you up a ravine to the rim of the bluffs where you get amazing views of Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mountain, and the city of Colorado Springs as you wind through unique rock formations. While mountain bikers are technically allowed on this trail, you won't see many because it is quite rocky.
