Two of my favourite activities are Trail running and Geocaching and I often like to combine the two by picking up a cache while out on a trail run. This Cache is part of a series that I will be creating that combine a Geocache with a favourite running trail in and around Colorado Springs, CO. You don't have to run the trail to get these Caches but bonus points if you traildo.
This trail is one of the most popular in the area for runners, hikers and bikers. The loop trail is about 5 1/2 miles. Parking is available at the main Trailhead on Gold Camp Road or at additional pullouts along Gold Camp Road or at the intersection with High Road which is gated off to traffic. The loop can be done in either direction. If you start at the main Trailhead there is a steep climb for 1 1/2 miles followed by a nice gradual downhill down to High Road. If you start by going up High Drive it is a nice steady climb with a steep downhill to finish.
