Come join us for a fun and friendly pilgrim hike on the Hogback Valley, Roundup and Sand Canyon Loop at Red Rock Canyon Open Space. This easy to moderate social hike is a great chance to stretch your legs, meet other pilgrims and enjoy one of Colorado Springs’ most beautiful local trails. Does this hike sound familiar? That is because we walked it earlier this year in June….but it is such a lovely hike, we are walking it again…and pilgrims Jessi and Matthew will be co-leading it with Brittany! Jessi and Matthew walked the Camino Portugues Coastal last year, so if you wonder about this route…be sure to come and join us!
Expect rolling terrain, red rock formations, hogback ridgelines and canyon views. There is moderate elevation gain, approximately 764 feet, making this a great option for everyone no matter your level of fitness or experience.
Colorado weather is always variable, so please dress in layers and bring a brimmed hat. Bring water and a snack, and if you use hiking poles, bring them. And please be sure to sign up for the hike in case we need to reach out about condition changes.
After the hike, we will gather at Mother Muff’s Kitchen & Spirits for anyone who would like to stay, eat and continue the conversation.
Remember: No dogs allowed per American Pilgrims policy…..
