Pulpit Rock Park

I've passed by this spot for ages and always thought about hiking to the summit. I finally made it happen! Parking is a breeze and right at the trailhead. There are tons of signs to guide you all the way up. This hike is really easy, making it perfect for families.The views from the top are amazing! You can see the entire west side of Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods, USAFA, and Pikes Peak. It took me around 45 minutes to reach the top from the parking area.

Tons and tons of trails, some along a graveled path and others more narrow and all over the park. A couple of parking lots to park in. There are maps around the park too but the amount of trails are confusing. If you know where you're going though, it's easy to get there. I used all trails and it was a good call cause the off trails are very confusing.

Omg this hike was such a nice leisurely stroll up to the top compared to most others, which for a non hiker such as myself was very exciting. It's not just a straight sidewalk up to the top, it's pretty easy switchbacks with a lot of shade coverage. I think it was only a mile up to the rocks too. The view is gorgeous and getting to the rocks at the top felt like a sense of accomplishment.Parking was a small dirt lot but it looked like other lots weren't too far way from the trailhead. This non-hiker would definitely do this Colorado hike again.

Very nice in town nature walk/hike by university village. There are lots of beautiful sunflowers in the summer and I saw some deer here last night! This is a perfect place to watch the sunset and would be a very romantic spot for a picnic & sunset date. I clocked the whole hike as just under 2 miles and about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace not counting time spent at the top. Pretty easy to do and very gradual incline.

Beautiful place to spend an hour and get some cardio and a gorgeous view!Came here at the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint. Quick hike up and down, the rock formation Is super cool. Took 20min to get to top from parking lot. Highly recommend! Really enjoyed this place.

Mocha loves it here! It's a beautiful area with plenty of trails so you can find a less crowded spot even on weekends.

Such a fun hike! If you do it before sunset you can see a beautiful view of the city! Easy hike to do with pets and children! Definitely a must do in Colorado Springs!

One of my favorite hikes and top 5 hikes in Colorado Springs. ! It's easy to do but can be difficult depending on what way you take it. Pulpit Rock is about 66 million years old so it's super cool. It's 6621 ft in elevation it's short but quite a workout. Be careful during the summer there have been known to be more rattlesnakes. I have never had an issue and the climb to the top is always my favorite. This hike is also kid-friendly and I have taken my daughter multiple times ! They do have loose rocks so make sure to watch out. Sitting and meditating at the top is one of my favorite things to do. You will not be disappointed by the views. This hike is usually never busy so if you are visiting for a short time this is a hike you want to check out.

Awesome place to take yourself on a walk anytime of the day. There are many trails to pick from.

Fun hike. It was a little wet and muddy the day I hiked it. I did notice a very old (1000+) year old Bristlecone Pine on the trail.
