The first public tour of the South Slope of Pikes Peak is this Sunday, June 27th. There will be a 7 mile hike and it’s limited to 20 people. Hikers will meet at 7:45 at the Red Rocks Open Space parking lto and caravan up to McReynolds Reservoir. Reservations are required and it costs $10.
Contact the Trails and Open Space Coalition at 633-6884 for more information or to reserve a spot. I’ve signed up. I hope some readers will join me for the hike. If you can’t make this hike, more on planned throughout the summer but I haven’t seen any dates yet.
Read my post from May on the Pikes Peak South Slope plan for information on the plan to open the area to recreation.
Update: I now have dates for hikes the rest of the summer
