Pulpit Valley Loop

Dogs Leashed

Features River/Creek

There are quite a few social trails in Austin Bluffs Open Space that the parks department is trying to close. Please respect closures. They ask you to reference the COTREX app to see routes and closures.

Starting from the Pulpit Rock Trail or Pulpit Rock South Trailhead, take the Pulpit Rock Trail until a three-way trail intersection with an information kiosk. The north part of the loop is a dirt service road that follows a creek and the south part is a doubletrack trail that gains a small ridge with good views of Colorado Springs. If you are running this clockwise, turn right before Spurwood Drive, cross a creek, and continue on the singletrack.
