Visually stunning views an easy hike to the top with some climbing. Not too crowded an pretty quiet, overall its a beautiful location ^-^

Warning::: Our car window was smashed on a Saturday evening when we went out to hike. Thankfully we didn’t have anything valuable stolen, but we were not the only broken into vehicle, and another pulled in as we were dealing with it and said hers was broken into before too. So beware!!!As far as the trail, we loved it. It was as easy or difficult as you want. We used a lot of the loop but also took some paths off the route. Beautiful rocks. Definitely hot, very little shade

Great place for a hike. Beautiful vistas and nice trails. We were lucky to have a smoke free day and great views of Pikes Peak.

Amazing views and relatively easy hike. A must go if you are in Colorado Springs as a traveler

Great morning hike! I recommend going counterclockwise so you climb the backside of the peak.

Crowded parking lot, some people dont know how to drive or park. The views are decent but its a busy area for sure

Really awesome traversing around the trails in the park. There is a 4 mile loop in addition there are trails throughout.Trails could be marked better for 1st timers like us but we just followed some people that knew the area and made our way to the top. It is a breathtaking experience once up there. Somewhat difficult trek for those who are not so nimble as can get a little steep and slippery. The views are amazing. Its a great time with family and friends.

The springs has a wide variety of trails for hiking and cardio. But from the amazing view of parts of the springs and UCCS, you cant be mad at pulpit for being so amazing. Right in you neighborhood!

The trail was amazing and easy... if you are into having a nice walk this is your spot. The air is so fresh and rejuvenating

Cool little hike... great for kids as its not so difficult. Saw a, just one, snake. My girl freaked out but dont let that stop you. I could see there were more trails to be hiked and you can go all the way up to pulpit rock but we did not venture too far up due to fact we had the kiddo with us and it was about 90°. Definitely will return to get to the top.Check it out for yourselfs...

Nice view over the city. The trail is a bit of a scramble near the top. Nothing crazy but be prepared for it.

Just went there on a Saturday afternoon and there were huge signs saying Dont leave valuables in the car. We were about to park but we saw that two separate, out-of- state cars had their front windows broken into. We didnt stay.

Parking lot is large enough. Dry hot area to hike. Topping Pulpit Rock is cool. Unfortunately the area seems about as wornout and beaten up as Palmer Park. The connection to Austin Bluffs Open Space does make this area better. Thank you to the Palmer Foundation.

Great off the beaten path trails.Not highly populated but also not isolated. Some parts were icy. Several parts with snow. Good visible trails. Some steep hills on trails. Several trails but only did one. We did not go all the way up to top rock due to late start and sun already going down at 430. Dont want to get stuck in there at dark. Dogs allowed but on leash. Nice little hike. Fairly easy.

Its all beautiful it will take your breath away on the walk.

Great parking lot. Would park again.

Lots of trail options and beautiful views.

Could have been better if there was a map of the area, but the trails are fun.

The parking lot is small and boring but ive never been on the trail but i think it would be fun

Great little hike up..wear good shoes!

I love this hiking area though the lot is small. There is another a bit bigger though so definitely worth the trip!

Great hike to the top

I thought the rock formation was really nice and beautiful the area to walk on the path they didnt have very many benches for people to sit down like myself I have a disability of physical disability with my back and then I am in my sixties so I was at a breath a lot of the time especially going up the hill I wish they would have been benches along the side so I could have sat down but there wasnt maybe in the future if theres money available they could put some benches there and maybe a trash can you know if your having soda or you have to discard something you have a trash can to put it in thanks

Lovely Place!

Pulpit is a great routine hike. Walking distance from my house. Quick and easy. Pretty walk to get there. Clearly established trail but primitive enough to offer a little bit of escape from civilization.

Its a nice walking area, fun and pretty. The sewage line goes underneath however so there are a couple spots that stink but not to many and not for long if you keep walking. Only done one of the two trails so far. It looks like theres a geocache or 2 on the site if that is something you enjoy doing.

This parking is not paved and doesnt accommodate a lot of cars. I dont think its maintained well, as the lot is very bumpy and has lots of holes. Its the trailhead for Pulpit Rock, so I suggest you to park here if you are planning to hike this trail.

After a short hike, you find yourself with a very beautiful view of pikes peak. Hike to the top of the castle looking rock and be blown away by this citys beauty.

Awesome trails.

Great parking lot with an easy access to Pull It Rock. You will come accommodate maybe 10 cars or so.

Fun little trail leading to spectacular views of the city.

Favorite place to hike with grandson

Pretty area. Trails are rough. Many areas in the Springs are better maintained and have better scenery.

The way I chose to get up was definitely not the easiest, but nonetheless, there were a surprising amount of people there from all walks of life. A lot with their shoes off, just enjoying the scenery :)

Beautiful area! Breath taking views!

Calming trail with many routes.

It was great

Small, unmarked, trash all over, but hike is amazing

Amazing view

Parking area is very clean and nice. Better for small vehicles but still plenty of parking even for bigger vehicles in the morning.

Beautiful view from the top of the rock. There is an overlook that is ok to get to, but the very top takes some climbing.

Nice parking lot at the trial head. They got a little dog poop bag station. Great trail and even better overlook of the city and mountain range!

Great trails. Some challenging some not so much.

Justna parking lot, but the hike that starts there is a lot of fun

Great trip and beautiful. I wouldnt mind going again!!

Good hiking. Can be difficult if you go to the pulpit. Otherwise nice trails for walking. It is easy than.

A beautiful view of Colorado Springs facing the mountains. The trail would be considered between easy to moderate difficulty depending which path you take to the top.

Very quite. No one else was parked here at rush hour. Amazing to watch all the traffic fly by.

My favorite trail in the springs....not too hard....but is a little bit of a workout....a few icy spots in winter but manageable...awesome views....

Love this place! Must see

I truly think the difficulty of this particular trail is suitable for ages 4-5yrs old and older. My brothers 4yr old son made it to the top and my 5yr old son made it as well.

Nice 30 minute hike.

Beautiful rock formations for hiking, climbing, having fun. Visit during the weekdays and you have the area (almost) for yourself

Nice walk- lovely views

The trails are pretty well kept and the sight at the top is gorgeous... But hikers, do know that theres an actual trail to the top of the rock, youre not required to go off trail to get to the top!

Be careful when pulling into the parking area. Dont go too fast, as there is a dip.

Lots of easy trails to walk and the more difficult hike to the top of Pulpit Rock. Would have liked to see some signs to direct us around the trails though.

Room for about 15 cars.

Nice trail system, great views, its in pretty good shape, plenty of options.

Great evening hike. Wonderful view.

Great trails and great views. Need to come back here and climb up to the top of the rocks!

Short hike with lots of steep inclines, some loose gravel, more than one place to enter the trail, amazing views and photo opportunities.

The lot I parked in had broken car window glass in a couple areas. I decided not to walk here, unsafe.

The pulpit rock trail is a fun short hike with great views of the city. Be warned though, the top of the rock gets steep and a bit slippery.

Great trail a little steep when you get closer to the rock. Also, beware of rattle snakes.

What to say? Its a parking lot. The park however is great for walking except on a muddy day.

A great place to hike even for a novice!

Wonderful Trail to hike. During the summer, lots of rattlesnakes.

Nice place for an afternoon walk

Amazing place to take a hike highly recommend!!

Great outdoor place in the middle of the city.

Very nice and peaceful

Gorgeous views

Great area to hike in the middle of town.

Color red...

Great parking lot, would use again.

Great experience

Cool place

Amazing trail

I love the view and spend a lot of time here

Finally figured out how to get to the rock!

Hard to get in and out of let alone find

Wonderful and relaxing.

We were there relatively early on a weekday and it had plenty of parking for how small it is.

Easy access

Awesome hike with a view.

Dont tell anyone about this hidden gem.... Ooops!E

Pretty easy hiking with a beautiful view

Love pulpit rock

Small. Full. Parked elsewhere.

Lots of trails here

Great place!!

Love this place

Too much litter.

Beautiful view and hike

Alot of thorns on trail so watch out for your doggies paws!

Pretty sweet spot

Parking is limited and not well marked but GPS should take you right to it.
