Heart Lake
Great hike along the creek up to beautiful alpine lakes. Very moderate elevation gain spread out nicely so you don't really notice you are going up.

Ceran St Vrain to Millers' Rock
Fairly easy hike along creek with almost total shade. Trail ends at forest road 252. It is a rocky and rutted road that you can take up to Millers' Rock. Great views from atop the Rock. Popular trail with parking for about 40 vehicles, so go early (before 8am). No…

Route is roughly 8 miles, went wrong way on Captain Jack's and had to back track, which increased recorded elevation gain and mileage. Total gain was about 1700. Bear Creek is great, shaded entire way but 1500 feet of gain as trail is all uphill. Trail ends at a faint waterfall due to trail maintenance

This route starts at parking area 18. We started on the Yucca Trail to get to the Templeton Trail. Great hike, lots of great views of Pike Peak and the city. Well maintained trail and park. Good for out of state visitors who are not acclimated to the altitude.

A local stopped us when we parked and suggested going up Belvedere instead of Hondo. It was shady and went through the neighborhood. It dead-ends at the start of the trail. Trail was in great condition. Moose scat throughout the meadow area but we saw no moose. Trail closed just before reservoir due to maintenance work.

Great, easy hike that is perfect for kids. Extremely well maintained with lots of creek crossing rock hopping as the trail winds through the woods.

The road to the Upper Beaver Meadows trailhead is closed in winter so you have to park on the side of the road outside the gate and walk in. There are a handful of designated spots roadside spots. Trail is exposed for the first half (burn scar) and along the road. Some good views along the ridge and
