Description
Winding through mountain meadows and mixed-forests of pine, fir, aspen, and spruce, the Peakview Trail offers incredible views of the Farish Recreation Area backcountry and Pikes Peak. Most of the grade is gradual, but there are a few short sections of steeper trail. Although tempting, please do not cut across the environmentally sensitive wet meadows to connect with other trails.
