Best places: Hiking areas in Monument, United States

👍 Be aware state parks want your money. I suggest downloading the TravelStorys App and take the guided tour for free. Don’t pay for a tour. This park is very small and only takes about 30 minutes to drive the scenic road. Also the entrance is free. It is however a must stop if your in the Denver area....

👍👍 What a great experience to drive up Pikes Peak. Unfortunately the last part of the road was closed due to ice on the road, bad luck. However, it was great to get as far as I got. The view was fantastic. It was also rather cold (-3 deg C) and windy, however that was not a big surprise on almost 4000...

👍👍 Wow, what a great hike this is! This is a hike that you can do two trails in one hike. We hiked MT Cutler first and on the way down you can choose to keep going down or go across to Muscoco. The weather got sketchy so we had to turn back as we approached the top, disappointing right?! The last par...

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful hike! My first time on this trail and a few notes: The drive to the parking lot is a little sketchy, with it being gravel and narrow, so watch out for oncoming traffic. Parking lot was full when we got there around noon, but managed to find a spot. Nice clean bathrooms at the st...

Park featuring a short hike that provides quick elevation gain & sweeping views from the top.

👍👍 Awesome stairs to get that heart rate up, with a pretty easy trail down. This route seemed recommended by the sign. I had to stop several times to make it to the top of the 200 steps! Very fun though!

👍👍 This trail is intense, and is basically a staircase straight up the side of a mountain! Despite the difficulty, it’s an amazing feeling of accomplishment to make it to the top. Plan for 1-1.5 hours to get to the top if you haven’t done it before. I highly recommend starting early (6am or earlier) wh...

👍👍 Had the MOST amazing experience walking this trail yesterday with my partner and dogs. The trees were gorgeous and only a few puddle along the trail after the early afternoon rain. At mile 3.5, it started pouring. So we embraced it, took our shoes off and walked in the muddy water the rest of the wa...

👍👍 Incredible area. The hike up was very manageable considering you're going up a mountain. The view from the top was amazing, and the trails are well marked and well maintained.
