    Hiking

    Be prepared to take a few moments to catch your breath and recover when you reach the summit. Afterward, you'll be rewarded with a stunning view of Colorado Springs and the Front Range. If you have the opportunity to start on an early ascent for sunrise, the additional effort will be rewarded.
