Overview

Burma Shave and surrounding trails explore the Blue Mountain region southeast of 11 Mile Canyon. This area offers some great views, secluded camping, and easy but fun treks through the woods year-round. Keep an eye out for wildlife and dramatic outcrops of Pikes Peak granite. This out-of-the-way trail network is a true hidden gem. Most summer days, you'd be hard-pressed to find two or three other rigs on the trail. The few established campsites are true havens of back-country peace and quiet.
