Overview

Mt. Rosa’s proximity to Colorado Springs makes this a popular destination for off-roading and just those looking to get away from the city. New wheelers can get practice on the terrain. Even the scenic lookouts have nearby playgrounds. Everyone will appreciate the amazing views of Colorado Springs along the way. There are two scenic stops. The second one offers a small rock climb to the top of the lookout. The “Wye” trails that connect to Mt. Rosa are small spurs that can add difficulty to your day of wheeling. When you return to Gold Camp Road, turn right to add several different trails to your day. Combine this with Mt. Baldy or Bull Park for a full day of wheeling and sightseeing.
