Super hard trail, not for the faint of heart, this has 2,768 steps with an elevation gain of 2k. The views from the top are unbelievable and definitely something to brag once you complete it. Many locals do not make it to the top so if you do make sure to rave about it.

Bring a Warm jacket even in the Summer.
Colorado weather is very unpredictable. Temperature can drop up to 20 degrees in one day. Keep in mind if you travel up to the mountains be prepared and temperature is a lot colder than Colorado Springs take a jacket.

So many hiking trails nearby!
If you are new to the area and love the nature and hiking. I highly recommend you downloading the free "AllTrails" app. The logo is green with a white mountain silhouette. You can search by area and filter your search for hiking trails. The app is pretty good about rating the difficulty level for all trails, and includes reviews with pictures. I've been living in CO for 4 yrs and to this day still use it to get informed on the hiking trail. Keep in mind this is high elevation and depending on where you travel from the difficulty might be different for you. Always be prepare for your safety :)
