Aiken Canyon Preserve

Aiken Canyon Preserve is a high-quality foothills ecosystem along the southern Front Range. It is south of Colorado Springs located off of 115. You will find many wildflowers, wonderful views, and wildlife.  This trail is not wheelchair or stroller friendly.  There are seasonal restrooms available at the trailhead. The trail is well-maintained and marked very well. There is a four-mile-loop hiking with an additional 3/4 mile trail branches off from the loop and makes its way through the canyon. Interpretive signs highlight important features along the trail.  Along the loop there is a a side dead end trail that will take you into the canyon ending at a cabin ruins. Little bit further up the main loop, another side trail goes up to an overlook on top of the hill.
