Pancake Rocks

O V E R V I E W

Enjoy a popular four-season hike with unique rock formations, astonishing views and subalpine zone vegetation; including Blue Spruce, Limber Pine, and Aspen trees.

You will appreciate the challenge and rewards of hiking at higher elevations without the extra stress of trying to summit a fourteener! 

This is also a great hike if you also want to explore Cripple Creek.
