Reynolds Park is a beautiful Jefferson County Open Space. There are several trails through the forest and along some little creeks. At the crest of the Eagle's View Trail you will get out of the trees and enjoy a great view towards the SE, all the way to Pikes Peak.
Our hike is on trails. We will travel the clockwise direction on Elkhorn Loop to Eagle View Trail then to a high point with views of Pikes Peak continuing the Elkhart Loop to connect with Raven’s Roost and back to parking lot. We can eat lunch at the picnic area following the hike.
I will give you weather information closer to the hike.
Required Equipment
If you use hiking sticks, bring them. They’ll come in handy on ice and on the steep sections.
