Fountain Creek Hike

Note, this hike has limited space and is posted on multiple forums so you MUST contact the trip leader, Jim, directly by phone or e-mail to register.

Join us for a hike along the Fountain Creek Regional Trail at Clear Springs Ranch Open Space south of Fountain Colorado. Clear Spring Ranch is a 930-acre linear park situated along Fountain Creek south of the City of Fountain, which features a variety of habitat types, including riparian, grassland and foothill ecosystems, as well as agricultural land.

Learn how our stream corridors serve wildlife and aquatic life, and about the problems posed by erosion along the creek.

This easy hike will be approximately 4 miles roundtrip with almost zero elevation gain. Bring water, raingear, and clothing suitable for the weather conditions. A carpool from Colorado Springs will be arranged.
