There will be a hike on Sunday, May 16th in Aiken Canyon. A well-maintained, four-mile-loop hiking trail begins at the entrance. An additional 3/4 mile trail branches off from the loop and makes its way through the canyon. 410 ft elevation gain. About 16 miles south of Colorado Springs, about 20 miles north of highway 50 just off highway 115. I consider this a moderately easy hike. We will carpool from the park-n-ride under Interstate 25 between Tejon and Nevada. We will leave the parking area at 10:00 AM.

Please bring enough water and snacks for the hike.

There will be a hike on Sunday, May 30th. It is the Greenland Open Space Loop. Part of this hike is actually also the Santa Fe Trail north of Palmer Lake. It is a relatively easy 8 1/2 mile hike. Everyone is welcome on this hike! We will carpool from my house to the trail head (on County Line Road just east of Palmer Lake), see directions below. Anyone who does not think that they will be able to do the entire loop can easily do only part of the hike and go back to their car. We will leave my home at 9:00 AM.

Please bring enough water and snacks for the hike.
