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. Start at the trail head heading east through a couple of switchbacks. Soon you will reach the sign for trail #664A pointing the the right. This trail goes up to Pikes Peak via Devil's Playground so go straight, 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 the main trail by doing a loop via another a small meadow with even more rocks around it.
Length: 5 miles round trip
Directions: Take US-24 west and turn left at traffic light in Divide. Drive south on US-67 for about 4 miles. Turn left to CR-62 right after you pass the entrance to Mueller State park on the right.
