Palmer Park Trail CaveOutlook — Attraction in Colorado Springs

Update: I came here for the second time to try to find the “cave outlook” but could not find the trail to take me and my friend there. Again gorgeous views, peaceful and quiet. The trail does get fairly hot because there’s not a lot of shade and lots of rock. We followed the templeton trail off of the Eden trail and I would say it’s an intermediate to advanced hike as it was steep in some areas with some downhills as well. A handful of bicycles, trail runners, and hikers. Not suitable for strollers. With everything said, this is one of the most nature filled, most gorgeous hikes, with intermediate/advanced trail options in the Colorado Springs area.

Overall I do recommend and loved this hiking area :)

Original review: Absolutely beautiful! Took my weinie dogs for a hike and they loved it. I got stung by a wasp just walking on the trail so be careful.

38°52'42.1"N 104°46'33.2"W

38°52'42.7"N 104°46'33.6"W

If you copy/paste them one by one into your maps, you should be able to find them! Good luck and...

Trail system wasn’t labeled at all to point you in the direction to any caves. We had to look for them our selves. There are some on the right side trail if you take the right outside loop you can find some and sometimes have to climb down the rocky areas to see others. Wish I took some photos with out my little nephew in them so I could post. Pretty easy trail. Great for any age above 8 and dogs. Depending on which trail you pick, some areas shaded, others are full...
