About this trail

Montgomery Flats is a short but steep loop trail near Colorado in Pike-San Isabel National Forest, managed by the Pikes Peak Ranger District. The 0.9-mile route gains 800 feet of elevation, making it a challenging climb despite its brief distance. This works out to an average grade of roughly 18 percent, offering a demanding workout in a compact package. The loop format allows hikers to experience varied terrain without retracing their steps. The significant elevation gain compressed into less than a mile makes this trail suitable for those seeking an intense cardiovascular challenge rather than a leisurely walk. Conditions and specific trail features vary by season, so check current conditions with Pike-San Isabel National Forest before heading out. This trail is ideal for hikers looking for efficient, strenuous exercise in the Pike Peak area. The proximity to Colorado and National Forest access make it convenient for both local residents and visitors exploring the region's outdoor recreation opportunities.
