Colorado Outdoor Adventures Journal by Eric and Bob: Pulpit Rock Hike

Welcome!!!

This blog is both an attempt to journal all of our fishing, hiking, and camping adventures as well as a way of sharing them with people who we know or people who might be interested in the same type of trip. We are just amateur outdoorsmen and fly fishermen but we love to be in the mountains and need a better way of keeping track of the small details of our trips in order to learn from past experiences and mistakes. We appreciate that you have come this far and are looking at the home page. If you are still interested, please have a look around!

Pulpit Rock Hike

Tonya, Ryver, Brett, Nikole, and I took some time Wednesday to hike to the top of Pulpit Rock in Colorado Springs. This is a very easy hike and there are many more miles of trail in the Pulpit Rock trail system that we did not go on but the hike to the top of the rock itself is very short, probably just over a mile one way. It gets a little tough at the end, just before the summit. If you want a view of Colorado Springs from the middle of town, this is a great place to go. The trail head is right near I25 and the North Nevada on ramp. Go down Nevada like you are getting on the highway. Take a right just before the exit ramp by the Harley Davidson dealership. Follow the frontage road left, basically following the highway on ramp. There is a small parking lot there. Be careful not to block the private driveway of the Colorado Springs Utilities. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon.
