Description
Added by Billy DiMirra
A hidden gem in the Colorado Springs area. The park is a network of a various small trails, with the highlight being the climb to the Pulpit Rock ridge line. The top provides beautiful views Downtown Colorado Springs, the surrounding City, and Pikes Peak.
Heading South on N. Nevada Blvd. you will pass a Harley Davidson dealership on your left, about a mile after that there is a large parking lot for Pulpit Rock Park. Once you park, there is a clearly marked trailhead that will get you on your way! There are various trails you can take to get the top of Pulpit Rock, some of which will take you in a loop if you choose, or you can go out and back. The hike to the top of Pulpit is about a mile from the parking lot (the loop ending up being about 4 miles). Its a pretty easy hike great for all ages and skill levels.

Hike Pulpit Rock Reviews
The trail to the top of pulpit rock is a great hike. However, the trail has been ground down over the years and can be pretty slippery if you do not have proper footwear. Great hike, awesome views.
4.0
This short hike lets you get above the hustle and bustle of Colorado Springs and gives spectacular views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range. I recommend hiking this trail in the evening as it can be brutally hot in the day during the summer months.
4.0
A good trail to hike at night if you want to enjoy the city lights.
