MOOve Over to Island in the Sky: 10.5 miles, 1,385 feet of elevation gain
Hike MOOve Over to Island in the Sky in the Oil Well Flats Rec Area outside of Canon City. The out and back hike begins with mostly easy rolling terrain with some areas of moderate gain in stereotypic Southern Colorado terrain and ends with a moderately challenging trek on the Island in the Sky trail to a Ponderosa Pine Forest at the top of a butte. The view at the top of the Island in the Sky trail affords spectacular views of the valley below and the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range in the distance. The trails are amicably shared by hikers and mountain bikers.
