A truly special and sacred space. Was only able to be here for a short time, but it was magical. Excited to come back to this little piece of heaven

5 stars because its FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!

Nice trails surrounded by middle-class neighborhoods.A great place for an easy hike for active young children from kindergarten on up. Even younger children could handle it.We typically bring our senior dogs with us and they do well but they are used to a couple regular walks a day. Completely sedentary dogs might require more patience.

Love ute, got lots of trails and pretty vistas. Always enjoy my time here.

Heaven for mountain bikers. The terrain is diverse: mud, rocks, dirt, rock slabs. Trails through the valley and on the ridge. Beautiful views everywhere. Just dont go off train or you might have to carry your bike up through dense vegetation when the trail dissapears.

I love this park it is well maintained overall and has a good variety of terrain. The only downsides are the parking lot is tiny and the trails arnt marked as well as Id prefer. If you live on the other side of town I wouldnt go out of my way to come here,but if you live in the area its definitely worth checking out!

This is a nice park. Great place to hike, walk, and bring the family.

Great place for a short hike, mountain bike, or after-dinner sunset walk. Has a beautiful ravine and rock formations. In late summer hundreds of common sunflowers along the main trails will cheer you up. Be careful though-- watch out for rattlesnakes and an occasional bear.

Pros.1. Easy trails2. There are many birds.3. The view from the park is awesome.Con.1. There are not many proper signs for directions.

Great place to hike! I mean, its terrible! Nobody should go there! Haha!In all seriousness, it is a nice park in the northwest corner of the Springs with some very nice trails. Hundreds of people come through the park and only a few have dealt with rattlesnakes or coyotes. Most people never even see them. Keep your dogs and kids close or they may get bitten. Stay on the trails!Tons of mountain bikes, too. Keep your eyes open as they sometimes come out of nowhere.

One of the most beautiful inner city parks Ive been in, its good for running, hiking, and biking. Theres quite a few possible trails and combinations of trails, and stunning views.

Great park. Beautiful views. Not a easy bike ride. Very technical mountain bike path.

Its a great open area for hiking. There are several different trails and numerous wildlife.

One of my favorite hikes. Lots of variety in scenery and wildlife.

I loved the view. Trail was nice. Not much parking so i parked at Walgreens was easy to get a drink before going home. Such a nice day!

I love hiking in-general. Ute Valley Park is one of may favorite places to hike around, and adventure.It is a surprisingly big park with lots of trails, my personal favorite is the trail at the summit of the hill.

Amazing city park hidden in plain sight. Very cool rock formations with lots of trails. Pretty secluded.

Nice hike, easy and moderate trails. There were way too many bikes for my taste on the

Great bike park. Has trails for all skills and abilities. Really muddy when it rains so watch the weather forecast

Love this park and come here to walk it often...but today I was up on the ridge... In the early morning....no people and walked up on a rattlesnake...i heard the rattle and the hiss before I saw it sitting in the shadow... My hiking partner pushed both of us out of the way and fell pretty hard ....was pretty cool....

Popular park, great views, great trails for hiking and biking.

My dog, Tallie and I love this place. Lots of different trails for us to investigate.

This is one of my favorite places to hike. In part b/c its close to home, but more-so b/c there are so many beautiful options: different trails, different lengths, and all relatively easy.

Great place for hiking, and photography. I plan on doing it again soon.

Ute Valley Park is a popular place to hike, run or mountain bike and is one of my favorite places to escape for an hour. It is easy to get to yet feels faraway. Some of the trails are wide and smooth, but most twist through trees and rocks. Many trails wind up rocky ridges or through pine forests. None of the trails are very steep and don’t gain much elevation, but they can be taxing because they are rough. There are many view points along some of the ridges that are worth the short climb. Dozens of miles of trails in a small area interconnect, offering a wide variety of routes. If you are a mountain biker, you should be prepared for some technical and twisty trails. There is no water in the park, so bring water to drink. The park is not stroller or wheelchair friendly.

Great loops to ride around the park. Some technical trails with a mix of easier in between. Makes for a great 1hr ride after work.

By far, my favorite park in Colorado Springs. Great mountain biking, hiking. Awesome views. Go even a little bit into the park, and it feels like youre all alone in the world. Beautiful rocks, trees, miles and miles of trails.

Thanks to all who contributed to protect such a beautiful place for all of us to enjoy. Im FOREVER grateful.

Great places for boulder near Colorado Springs especially after work or school.

This is a great outdoor park for multiple activities to include walking, running, hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, and bird watching. Dogs are allowed and must be leashed. Please pick up after your pets.

Ute Valley Park is an absolutely joy to experience. The trails are easy to follow and easy to hike. I went with my husband and our 15 month old son who I had in a harness on my back. With proper hiking boots on, the walk up was quite enjoyable despite the snow and mud. Once at the top you are able to see a beautiful panoramic view of the city off in the distance, Pikes Peak, and the valley below. Fellow hikers are courteous towards one another, and it is polite to move to the side when a person on a mountain bike is going through. There is an abundance of birds to see and they have some of the most beautiful calls to one another. Since it is January we did not need to worry about rattle snakes or mountain lions, but from my understanding in the warmer months you need to be on the look out. This is a trail that any level hike can partake in. There are more flat trails for those who are unable to go up more of in incline and of course the more rugged trails for those who want a little more than a simple walk up. Enjoyable for the whole family, including the dogs which greatly enjoy all the sights and smells of a small mountain hike.

Open and not too crowded. Easy paths and wildlife.

So freakin beautiful, love to scramble on the rocks here!

The new trail system is really well maintained and makes it a fun spot to adventure in the city.

Great place for a quick ride. Or multiple laps for as long as you need.All types of terrain in just the main 2 mile loop. Rocks gardens, technical climbs, fast flowy downhills, long mellow climbs, and plenty more.This place is perfect for testing out new gear and setups. You can get a wide variety of riding in a trail short enough to make multiple runs and compare times.

This is one of our favorite places to go because theres so many trails and places to explore, its not very busy and has the most amazing views.

I enjoy this place and going to try a new trail next week

Wonderful park for hiking and walking dogs.

Park was great but after the rain turned into a clay marsh. It was insanely rough to the point the clay stopped the wheels from turning.

Very easy to hard climbs... watch for a white truck with a headache rack, city employee, will ticket you for dog not on leash. Be mindful, there are snakes, bears, and coyotes out there.

Please do not go to this park alone if you are not from Colorado. Stunning views and picture moments.

Is becoming my favorite trail in town.

Nice hike, great views of the city.

I visit this park on average twice a week while my son is at therapy, it provides a beautiful view and a quiet place to relax and reflect. I see many hikers, dog walkers, and bikers also taking advantage of the park. I had not had a negative experience to date.

Great place to hike and ride a bike

Great place to bring kids

Great area to take a hike situated near the city but withdrawn enough to be able to enjoy the outdoors. Parking is small and limited but neighborhood parking is allowed.

Great park for a nice stroll. It can get muddy so bring appropriate shoes.

Plenty of different paths to hike from easy to moderate. Great views of the front range at higher elevations.

Well-marked trails, beautiful views. I’ll be hiking here more often!

Ute Valley Park pics taken from top NW corner vantage point, near Centennial and Vindicator, roads down off the plateau. Excellent views, multiple views, great walking trails and paved trails. Dogs welcome.

A 200 acre natural park, a lot pine trees, and several sand stone hills, valleys and some grass lands. Very good for hiking and bicycle riding.

Technical single track with some flowy downhill sections

One of my favorite places to hike. They have a trail for everyone

Very nice place with some off the beaten path areas to chill.

Nice hiking area especially for beginners. We saw hikers, bikers, dogs and families. If you want to start hiking, this is a good starter. Trails are nice, not challenging, unless youre kinda outta shape like we are. You have to get use to thinner air but your lungs will thank you for all the fresh air. You could easily picnic here. Getting here is tricky if following gps. There is a public park and on the far side along the street is where you park to enter. Its not well marked. Dont get discouraged if gps says youre here and its someones house. Continue until you see the public park then youll find the actual entrance.

Beautiful Park located in the Northwest, Central part of the city. It is very expansive and provides many trails for both hikers and bikers. The paths are well defined. The views from the park are wonderful. It is in a quiet part of town. But keep an eye out for snakes there.

A gem within the local neighborhood! It is a beautiful spot to challenge the body and relax the mind.

Challenging and fun place to mountain bike.

Beautiful place with lots of trails

Wonderful visit. Tigger and I will be back!

Great outdoor park. Parking lot is limited so plan on parking near the middle school or on a side street. Trails are not well marked but you can use AllTrails and city is working to clear out more trails

What a great spot to do some hiking and a really great spot to take pictures! Really close to everything. Parking is sometimes difficult as there aren’t many parking spots.

Ive lived in the Springs metro area for 10yrs and cant believe that I have never been here! This place is a secret gem! There are so many trails for hiking, biking, and running! I cant wait to go back with my dog again!

This park is so tight. Its a little Oasis of mountain scenery right in the middle of town very cool. I recommend it to all levels of hiking from Toddlers to the elderly.

Great place to stretch the legs in town and almost get away from all the houses.

What a great place for a hike! love the rock archway. i have named a fallen tree there the dragon head so look for it...youll know it when you see it.

Amazing trails! Quite and vast. Get fit people!

Very beatiful

Great for mtn biking.

An awesome free park, with one major downfall. The parking lot only holds maybe 10-12 cars. It does offer beautiful views many dog, and mountain bike friendly trails, and a clearly labeled park map. Overall you can easily spend 1-4 hours here hiking and wandering, depending on your activity level and amount of stops and photos. Another perk is that the park is surprisingly quiet and isolated from city noise while still being in the city.

Great fun park to take the family

Great place for hiking and riding. Just like with most open spaces in the Front Range, if you are mountain biking, watch out for unleashed dogs. If you bring your dog to this park, or any other open space, please follow the posted rules and do not let your dog off the leash.

Such a beautiful to play in. Please be kind when it has rained as it can get really muddy.

One of my favorite parks in Colorado Springs for hiking and mountain biking. Its well maintained with lots of different terrain. Theyve also been doing a lot of work this year with new trails and bike specific areas.

Great place to to go mountain biking and to just walk your dog along the nice Hills but the only thing that prevents this from being a five is the fact that most of it is unaccessible due to water but other than that it would be a 5

New lines are nice with a bitnof flow super easy for the beginner .

A very well maintained and clean park. Im not sure how big it is but it feels huge. There are lots of trails and interesting natural formations, even a small arch.

Gem of a park! Great mountain biking trails!

The trails are diverse from challenging to easy, hills and less hills. Once you know your way around this park it is fun every time. It just never gets old with its diversity and intricacies. Stay local, explore and enjoy the grandeur.

Incredible place to go and spend some time outside, whether youre mountain biking, hiking, or looking for a scenic walk, Ute Valley has everything to offer.

Natural bliss in the middle of town. Good hiking, biking trails. Some bear, deer, and snakes.

Very nice place to take a walk and relax without having to climb an actual mountainside.

Great place to hike! Many trails, and panoramic views of Pikes Peak. Nice for dogs, but watch out for bikes and other dogs as the trail is narrow and a bit technical in spots.

Great open space and a few nice boulders too!

Lovely place to get some fresh air! A little muddy today though!

Gorgeous and paths of every difficulty. My absolute favorite place to escape in nature

Ute Valley has become a great park for mountain biking over the last few years and now you ride in from Tech Center Dr adding a fun flowy trail to your loop.

Very wide variety of trails. Grew up in this trail system and it never disappoints. Be weary of some hikers or bikers with little to no trail etiquette, just seems to be the nature of the beast. Very fun, and family oriented park.

I walked about 2.5 miles down different trails, and I can tell you its a great place to walk, and its not very confusing, as long as you know what youre doing. There werent any wild animals on my walk, and very little poop and things like that. Overall a good place to hangout and have a nice walk.

Awesome place, glad I stopped by.

I use this for mountain biking. People are nice here. Ive seen bears, deer, snakes and Coyotes.

Great views. So many trails to choose from. If you are hiking, watch and listen for bikers as they often come down the trails going fast.

Beautiful views of the Colorado Springs area and great trails! I love running here.

Great place to hike with beautiful views, if you walk to the top.

Beautiful park!! Lot of unmarked trails!!! Great scenery and hidden caves!! Go prepared and have a great adventure!!

Very nice park for hiking and mountain biking. Lots of trails to choose from and everything seems to be pretty well maintained

Great trails, with good diversity and styles for both hiking and mountain biking. Theres a small jump park towards the south end, and new trails that get built every once in a while. Wildlife is pretty scarce, and it can get a bit crowded on weekends with good weather.

Went on a .8 mile walk and enjoyed it. No problems with the tails except for a few branches that were needing to be trimmed. The park was clean and the views were great

Great place to hike!
