CANCELED!! Hike: Elkhorn & Eagle’s View Trail Loop – Reynolds Park

CANCELED!!! Due to a combination of very cold temps and light snow causing icy roads, we are going to cancel today’s hike.

Get ready for an invigorating fall adventure on the Elkhorn and Eagle’s View Trail Loop in beautiful Reynolds Park! This 4.1-mile route winds through peaceful meadows and quiet forests before climbing steadily to the Eagle’s View Lookout, where breathtaking views of Pike’s Peak and the Cathedral Spires await. Depending on the weather, we’ll hike or snowshoe—either way, it’s going to be an amazing day!

This is a well-maintained trail that offers a rewarding challenge with its 1,000 feet of elevation gain and a few steep sections. Expect brisk winds at the top—but the panoramic payoff makes every step worth it!
