Bear Creek Cañon Park: Palmer Red Rock Loop Trail

Many of the hikes in Colorado Springs are great, but also short and easy. At 6 miles and with a difficult rating, the Palmer Red Rock Loop is a break from the norm. The trail takes hikers on a loop in the foothills on the western edge of Colorado Springs. The first half of the loop ascends and the second half descends.
