Geocache Description:

A beautiful hike up to Red Mountain. Once on top, have a seat and feel the cool breeze. It's a great 2-2.5 mile round trip Hike.

It's a gorgeous overlook of Manitou Springs. Have a great time out!!

***UPDATED COORDINATES - 38° 51.083 N 104° 55.282 W

Red Mountain (altitude 7,375 feet) is a small mountain on the southern edge of Manitou Springs that was recently secured as open space. An ascent of this mountain is considered moderate for Colorado Rocky Mountain standards, and the view at the top makes this a popular hiking destination. On Friday, my friends Erich and Christina joined me for this post-Thanksgiving afternoon excursion.

How To Get There: In Manitou Springs, turn south on Pawnee from Manitou Avenue and travel all the way up the residential road. (If you don't like driving and/or parking on steep residential roads in Manitou, I suggest parking in the base of town and walking up Pawnee from the Manitou Library.) Eventually Pawnee becomes a dirt road, and on the right is the trailhead for the Intenmann Trail. Hike on the Intenmann Trail for approximately 0.4 miles and turn left at the clearly marked sign for Red Mountain. From that point, it is a one mile ascent to the summit.

Once you on the summit - You should find the Cache with no problem.
