I posted a few of my best photos from the Assault on the Peak a few days ago. Now I’ve uploaded over 200 photos broken up into 2 albums. The first album is from the start to Crystal Reservoir and the 2nd one is from above Crystal Reservoir. Those albums are now also linked from my original Assault on the Peak photo page.

Although the Assault on the Peak was a bike ride instead of an actual race, they timed the riders at the toll gate, Glen Cove and the summit. Even if there wasn’t timing, I have no doubt some would have ridden it as a race for bragging rights. Leroy Popowski won the bragging rights for the next year of being the fastest up Pikes Peak with just his own power since 2 guys on electric assist bikes beat him to the top.

Yesterday was the 1st Annual Assault on the Peak. It was 24.5 miles with 7800 vertical feet of climbing up Pikes Peak. I’ll do a write up on it in the next couple days but for now, here are some photos. If you want to see more photos, I have larger albums of the ride up to Crystal Reservoir and of the ride above Crystal Reservoir.
See Assault on the Peak ride times here.

Update: I’ve posted Pikes Peak Assault photos.
The inaugural Assault on the Peak is this coming Sunday, August 29th. It’s a bike ride up the Pikes Peak highway. There have been some changes since I wrote about the ride in April.
Now instead of starting at the Pikes Peak highway toll gate in Cascade, the ride is going to start down in Manitou Springs at Memorial Park. This makes the ride 24.5 miles with over 7700 feet of climbing followed by descending that much!
Even though the ride has been lengthened, the price has been reduced. Instead of the originally announced price of $180, it is now $150. They’ve also added an option of riding to Glen Cove for $90.
The deadline to register online through BikeReg is Wednesday. You will also be able to register from 5:30 – 6:30 AM the morning of the ride.
Also along with the Pikes Peak ride, Peak Region is having a Bicycle Festival at the start/finish area. The bike Festival will start at 10 AM and run until 4 PM. The expo will be free with bike shops, frame builders, cycling apparel, etc.

Friends of the Peak, the volunteer group that takes care of all things Pikes Peak, has a cool interactive map of Barr Trail on its web site. The map was developed to inform the Friends about trail problems – fallen trees, severe erosion, vandalism. Check it out, and while you’re there, sign up for an upcoming FOTP trail workday – you can still get in on projects on the South Slope, Devil’s Playground, and Buffalo Creek (also known as St. Mary’s Falls).

A couple of years ago, Backpacker magazine listed the 10 most dangerous hikes in America. Number 3? Pikes Peak. Pikes was chosen because of its capricious weather with high winds, hail storms and a chance of snow year-round, and because of the effects of the oxygen deprivation hikers experience on the summit.
But one person’s “dangerous” could be another’s walk in the park. Compare the Barr Trail to a popular route in China. Travel writer Robin Esrock traveled to Huashan in central China, one of that country’s five sacred mountains, in search of what has been called “the world’s most dangerous hike.” He thinks he found it. Check it out above or directly on YouTube.

Yesterday I got to see the Pikes Peak South Slope reservoir area for the first time. In 1894 Boehmer Reservoir was the first reservoir on the South Slope. Colorado Springs now has 7 reservoirs there. The area was closed in the early 1900s to protect Colorado Springs water supply.
The hike was the first guided hike to let the public see the area before it’s planned opening to the public in the next year or two. I wrote about my thoughts on the Pikes Peak South Slope recreation plan when it was presented a couple months ago. There will be 6 more South Slope hiking tours throughout the summer. Although dates aren’t finalized, trail building is expected to begin in August.
We met at Red Rocks Open Space and carpooled up to the Pikes Peak South Slope. There were 20 hikers plus Sarah Bryarly from the TOPS program and Mary and her husband from Friends of the Peak to lead us.
We parked at McReynolds Reservoir to begin the hike. Because trails haven’t been built yet, we hiked on the Colorado Springs Utilities roads although we saw flagging in a couple spots where the proposed trails will cross the road. Other than the roads, water diversion ditches, etc. the vegetation like much like remote areas in the backcountry. Because of the high altitude valleys, the close up views of Pikes Peak and the surrounding mountains are much different than the views from the front side where you’re looking up from a much lower elevation.
I was disappointed that we had to stop short of Boehmer Reservoir. It has beautiful rock cliffs above it and Pikes Peak is right above it. The area around Boehmer Reservoir is a critical big horn sheep lambing area and will have seasonal trail closures until July 15th each year. The next hike on July 10th will also turn around before Boehmer but the hikes the rest of the summer will go all the way to it. It was probably good that we didn’t get to do the full hike because there was close lightening and it was starting to rain when we got back to the cars.
It was great to get a look at this beautiful area and am happy that plans are moving forward to opening it to the public. At the same time, I have some worries about the area becoming damaged from use and being closed again. In a way, I wish that it would be less accessible than planned but then I don’t think there would be the support to build the trails.
Here are photos and you can view higher resolution Pikes Peak South Slope photos here. This map shows where I took the photos.

The first public tour of the South Slope of Pikes Peak is this Sunday, June 27th. There will be a 7 mile hike and it’s limited to 20 people. Hikers will meet at 7:45 at the Red Rocks Open Space parking lto and caravan up to McReynolds Reservoir. Reservations are required and it costs $10.
Contact the Trails and Open Space Coalition at 633-6884 for more information or to reserve a spot. I’ve signed up. I hope some readers will join me for the hike. If you can’t make this hike, more on planned throughout the summer but I haven’t seen any dates yet.
Read my post from May on the Pikes Peak South Slope plan for information on the plan to open the area to recreation.
Update: I now have dates for hikes the rest of the summer
Also take a look at the Pikes Peak South Slope hike flyer.

The May edition of the Peak Region Cyclist has been out for a couple weeks now. The online version isn’t available yet. I know David Pico, the publisher, was reworking something to do with the online version.
The cover photo is my photo of the Colligiate Men’s A’s at the Colorado College Criterium. You can see more of Colorado College Criterium photos here.
I’ve been getting questions about what is going on with Peak Region Cyclist since the Facebook page became Front Range Cyclist and there’s a new The Official Peak Region Cyclist Magazine Facebook page. David Pico and Jon Severson have been running the Peak Region Cyclist the last couple years. Lately they haven’t agreed on the vision for the magazine.
David will continue publishing Peak Region Cyclist. Jon has headed off to create a new print magazine called the Front Range Cyclist along with mobile apps and more of a web presence. David plans to change the time and format of the Peak Region Cyclist Bike Show but I don’t know details on it yet. I don’t know if there are any plans for a Front Range Cyclist Show.
Both David and Jon are great guys. The Peak Region Cyclist is a great local cycling magazine and I hope these changes are only good for the magazine. I also hope Jon will create a successful magazine covering cycling here on the Colorado Front Range.

Colorado Springs Utilities presented the latest Pikes Peak South Slope Plan a little over a week ago on Tuesday, April 27th. I was there along with over 60 others. There were some positive changes based on the feedback given on draft Pikes Peak South Slope Plan presented in January.
One of the changes is the decision to allow mountain bikes on proposed Boehmer/Mason Trail loop that was initially proposed to be closed to bikes. The downside is they’re proposing to increase the trail width to 4 feet to minimize conflict between mountain bikes and other trail users. 4 feet is wider than true singletrack and I doubt it’s necessary. Also trails tend to widen over time so I don’t think they need should start so wide.
Based on the feedback from the January meeting they are now proposing a trail connecting from the Lake Moraine Trail over to the Boehmer/Mason Trail area. This could be a key segment to make completion of Ring the Peak Trail a reality. It also would allow for some epic mountain bike rides connecting with the Barr Trail area. Since it wasn’t on the original plan and it’s been too snowy for them to take a good look at the area, there’s no specific trail location specified.
Although there are no specific plans for building any trail for completing Ring the Peak Trail, they didn’t seem so opposed to it. Most of the sensitive big horn sheep habitat where it makes most sense for the trail is on Forest Service land. There would also need to be a connection through Colorado Springs Utilities land. CSU said they would work with the Forest Service to see if it would be possible.
Another new proposal that I don’t like is allowing limited hunting. According to their slide on the feedback received, they got over 120 comments supporting hunting. That’s over double the number supporting the Ring the Peak Trail which had the 2nd most comments. Although a couple people brought it up at the January meeting, there didn’t seem to be much support for it. My guess is some group organized and sent in a lot of comments online. I’ve heard bullets whiz by me more than once while mountain biking so I’m not excited about hunters being in the area.
I hadn’t noticed before that dogs won’t be allowed on the Pikes Peak South Slope. Because of wildlife concerns especially with the big horn sheep, it makes sense to not allow dogs.
There weren’t a lot of comments but the most were about the trail being so wide and the area being closed in the winter. The plan is for the area to only be open from mid-May through mid-October. People, myself including, would like to be able to snowshoe and cross-country ski on the trails even if it means starting at Gold Camp Road.
So the big question that hasn’t been answered yet is how the building of the trailheads and trails and the ongoing maintenance will be funded. Colorado Springs Utilities will pay for the detailed plan to be completed. The Colorado Springs Park and Recreation department will be responsible for finding the funding for building and maintaining the trailheads and trails. The parks department has had their general fund budget slashed from close to $20 million in 2008 to about $3 million this year so that’ll be a challenge.
The number being used at the meeting was somewhere around $2 to $2.5 million for building everything in the plan. Other places I’ve seen estimates as high as $4 million. Tom, the presenter, said the about $2 million amount is based on bringing in a commercial contractor to do most of the work. Using volunteers to build trails would bring that down. However, the single biggest cost is building bridges and boardwalks over sensitive wetlands and that may be hard to reduce much with volunteers. He said that’s about $900k and I found nearly that much with a quick glance through the costs section of the plan.
At least some funding could come from the Trails and Open Space (TOPS) program. Also the project seems like a great fit for money from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) which is funded from the state lottery proceeds. Fishing is Fun Grants (CDOW), the Fish and Wildlife Resources Fund, Trail Construction Grants (Colorado State Trails Program) and Conservation Trust Fund are listed as other funding sources for construction. Most likely a fee based system will be used to provide ongoing funding.
Another part of the plan that isn’t on the Pikes Peak South Slope is the improvement of the Ute Trail. The Ute Trail runs from near the base of the Manitou Incline to Cascade. Although it isn’t currently an official trail, it is well used but has some very steep sections with erosion issues. The proposal is that El Paso Country Parks will be in charge of the improvements and manage the trail.
You can find many more details including maps, photos and charts in the 88 page plan posted online. You can find some additional information on main Watershed Access Project page including an online form to submit comments by May 18th. It also gives information on getting notified of volunteer or guided tour opportunities.
