Lovell Gulch is an nice 5 mile loop trail that has relatively easy climbs but stunningly beautiful views. Hike through dense forests and skirt large granite boulders along the trail. Dive down into some small valleys and then hike along a ridge that showcases Pikes Peak and the Sawatch Range.
From Colorado Springs, take I-25 and Hwy 24 West towards Woodland Park. Once in Woodland Park, turn right at the McDonalds onto Baldwin Rd. Head straight through several stop signs for about 2 miles. There will be a sign to turn left into the parking lot for the Lovell Gulch Trailhead, which is adjacent to an animal shelter.
