Our Pictures of Hikes in the Pike National Forest - Manitou Springs - Crystal Park - 2008

Video of Hikes in the Pike National Forest  - 10/2008

Another part of the Pike National Forest that we covered in detail. Cameron's Cone is the closest peak and has a Geocache and summit log book. Based on the logs it would seem people climb there quite a bit, but we have never seen anyone in this particular neck of the woods. The ladybugs can be particularly impressive at the higher altitudes. Don't forget to breath through your nose, or you might eat a few here and there.

So in summary:

  • Nice views.
  • Fairly hard hiking - you are either going up or down. Not much in between.
  • In two years we have never encountered anyone else. Luv it!
  • Ladybugs, ladybugs, and more ladybugs.
