In an effort to explore as many trails in Colorado as possible, our next stop was “Stratton Open Space Park” located in Colorado Springs.
Their multitude of trails welcome hikers, runners, mountain bikers, leased dogs, and equestrians. Although access isn’t provided to the “Gold Camp Reservoir,” your dog is welcome to enjoy a refreshing dip in the waters of the “Mesa Reservoir” (fishing and human swimming is prohibited).
There are numerous great views of the surrounding mountains, the valley below, and the iconic Broadmoor Hotel, so be prepared to snap a few pics.
Convenient parking is provided and all hiking and running abilities are able to enjoy these trails (including those with strollers/baby joggers when accessing the wide and well maintained fire access road).
This trail is easily accessible from The Springs and offers something for nearly everyone.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
