Trail Information

Highlights

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. Fish Creek follows a beautiful stream through woods and meadows around the south and east extents of this trail system that primarily provides access to some excellent, trailer-accessible, dispersed campsites open year-round.

Great news: The 403 fire is contained. Less great news: The USFS has issued a stage 1 fire ban. That means no smoking outside a vehicle and no campfires outside of pay campsites with metal fire rings or grills. Details at The USFS website.

South Park District fire crews will perform prescribed burns in the area for the next few days as part of the Wilson Project. Expect smoke and possible closed roads.
