The Crags

The Crags are rock formations located south of Divide, facing the northwest slope of Pikes Peak. It's a beautiful short hike popular with families and it can often be crowded. Start at the trailhead heading east through pine forest. Soon you will reach sign for trail #664A pointing the the right. This trail goes up to Pikes Peak via Devil's Playground so stay on the left following trail #664. Shortly after, you will enter a meadow with numerous interesting rock formations on the left. The trail is pretty level and it's an easy walk through this incredible area. Later on you will enter the forest again and start climbing until you reach the top of Crags. Enjoy great views of Pikes Peak and mountains to the north and west. You can return to main trail by doing a loop via another small meadow with even more great rocks around it.

Directions: Take US-24 west and turn left at traffic light in Divide. Drive south for about 4 miles. Turn right to CR-62 right after you pass the entrance to Mueller State park on the left. Drive 3 miles on dirt road then turn left to the Crags Campground and drive all the way to the trail head parking at the end.
