Elliott's Ridge
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Elliott's Ridge is a 14.0-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near Pikes Peak. Managed by the Pike-San Isabel National Forest's Pikes Peak Ranger District, this route offers hikers a moderately challenging experience with 1,025 feet of elevation gain spread across the full distance. The out-and-back format means hikers will cover 7 miles to the ridge before returning via the same route, making it accessible for those planning a full-day outing. The elevation gain is distributed throughout the hike rather than concentrated in one section, providing a steady but manageable climb. This trail is ideal for hikers seeking a longer day hike with scenic views of the Pikes Peak region. The Pike-San Isabel National Forest provides diverse terrain and natural landscapes characteristic of the Colorado Front Range. The trail's length and elevation gain make it suitable for intermediate to experienced hikers looking for a full day of hiking without technical climbing.
