Details
The Seven Bridges Trail, which can be found on AllTrails at
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/seven-bridges-trail?sh=j20c5w&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality
is a beautiful 3.4 mile hike out and back, with an 849 ft elevation gain. The trail is a popular route for all ages, crisscrossing North Cheyenne Creek several times on well maintained bridges. The hike is mostly easy, with moderate difficulty toward the top. Boots, sunglasses, windbreakers and hats will be needed, and you should plan on bringing water and snacks in a day pack. It is advised to bring poles and/or microspikes if you have them, to avoid slippage on descent from the top. We will meet at 9:00 at the trailhead in North Cheyenne Cañon Park at Gold Camp Road; parking is usually very limited on weekends so you may want to carpool. The road up to the parking lot is fully paved and there are port-a-potties at the parking lot. Directions can be found on Google Maps as 4415 Lower Gold Camp Road, Colorado Springs, CO. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed.
