Places to Run in the Pikes Peak Region

Ute Indian Trail

Directions: The southern Trail Head is directly below the Manitou Incline Station on Ruxton Ave.   You head towards the old Incline Railroad but bear right to the path up the Rattlesnake gulch. Parking below the Manitou Incline can be a problem on the weekend since you will be competing with all the people hiking up Pikes Peak. Parking farther down Ruxton Ave may be required.

Description: The trail is 3.7 miles one way.   Elevation gain is approx 1040 ft and elevation drop of 340 feet.  You can continue down to highway 24 and connect up with the Waldo Canyon trail if you are looking for a longer run.
