Borrow Pit

Wanna get away? Blue Mountain is a true hidden gem for camping and easy trails close to Colorado Springs. Unusual for Colorado, this area was not heavily mined during the gold and silver rushes. Instead, it was dominated by cattle ranching from the late 1800s through the middle of the 1900s. Burrow Pit hooks through the heart of a trail system that primarily provides access to some excellent, trailer-accessible, dispersed campsites open year-round.
