2,400 feet of New Sustainable Trail
Over the past several months volunteers and staff from the Rocky Mountain Field Institute (RMFI) have been working to improve the sustainability and user friendliness of the Pancake Rocks Trail (a key segment of the Ring the Peak Trail. Those efforts have yielded over 2,400 linear feet of new sustainable trail. RMFI also rehabilitated another 1,500 of abandoned trail.
Funding for this project was secured by the Trails and Open Space Coalition through a grant for Colorado Springs’ Lodgers and Automobile Rental Tax (LART).
Permission and trail planning were provided by the staff of the U.S. Forest Service’s Pikes Peak Ranger District.
We hope this is the first of many trail improvement projects on the existing Ring the Peak Trail as well as continuing to plan and build new trail to complete the Ring.
