Summit in the Springs: Humpday Hikers climb up Mount Muscoco

Mount Muscoco Trail — Midweek Hike (~4 mi, 1,300 ft gain)

Overview:
I’m guest hosting this midweek hike up Mount Muscoco in North Cheyenne Cañon. This is one of the best “bang for your buck” trails in Colorado Springs — short but steady, with rewarding 360° views of the city, Cheyenne Mountain, and the surrounding peaks from the summit.

Perfect for a midweek fitness push or just a chance to unwind on the trail with friends.
