Pikes Peak Hike via Barr Trail

[@jeffhuang9669]

Thanks for documenting your Pikes Peak climb in such details. It's very helpful for anyone planning for this hike!

[@JasonCrader]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it.

[@mikefrain1969]

I'm shattered watching it..Paul did amazing

[@JasonCrader]

Yes Paul was a rockstar

[@JosephR97]

At a low point in my life, being stationed at Fort Carson. I popped 4 tabs of Acid and made this trek in 6.5 hours. In a strange way. I lost and found myself up there all at the same time. Most amazing experience of my life. So beautiful and peaceful❤️

[@mikemaxton]

Jason, thanks for the detailed video. It was entertaining, and helpful. 35 years ago I lived in Col Springs, and hiked PP at least once a year for six years. IN a month, my brother and I, now well into our 60s, are heading back to Colorado, to hike the Peak, and back down, but in two days, with an overnight at the A-Frame. We've both been walking here in Kansas, 3 to 12 miles a day, for five months, to get back in shape, and ready. We'll be carrying about 16 pounds. Your video refreshed my memory on a number of places along the route. We appreciate it! Mike

[@JasonCrader]

Glad you enjoyed it. How did your hike go Mike?

Thank you. I’m glad to have helped you with your urge to do this climb! 😊When you climb it, let me know how it went.

[@snidelywhiplash6391]

Love it! I walked up the Barr Trailhead twice in 1979 and 1980 while I was stationed at Fort Carson. Both times we camped at the A-frame 3 miles from the top. Beautiful views of Colorado Springs!

[@JasonCrader]

I’d like to camp up there the next time I go

[@RealSoundNow]

Awesome job, congratulations! With only a couple weeks preparation that's truly impressive! I'm inspired to give it a go. Hope that doughnut was as good as you hoped!

Thank you. You can do it. We did prepare with hikes in Arkansas leading up to this but we could not prepare for the altitude. Good luck. If you decide to give it a go, let me know how it goes!

You completed one of my lifelong goals and people like me will be encouraged for years to come. Thanks.

Thank you. You can do it. I hope to go back again some day and do it again. Let me know when you achieve this goal.

[@dmarie51]

Loved watching this video! I hiked to Barr Camp three times while l lived in Colorado Springs. Didn't start early enough to make it to the Summit on those hikes. Taking the rail is a fun way to see that gorgeous valley down below. Moved back to TX last year. Miss the scenery & challenging hikes so very much!

Just climbed it this past weekend. They gave Ms Roberts a kick ass view huh. Awesome video man but videos and pictures don't do it justice lol met an old man coming down who told us "Your closer than you were 30 minutes ago" whoever that man was he is a legend. Those words got 3 out of shape guys all the way up their first 14er.

[@gmaneis]

The stairway you showed at 2:45 is actually the remains of the Manitou Incline, a narrow gauge railroad which operated until 1990. Nice video. I enjoyed it.

[@JasonCrader]

Thank you for the additional info and the comment!

[@WhoFlungPoo2024]

Throughly enjoyed every minute of this superb video narrative. I lived in COS as a kid in the 60's and while I had numerous chances to hike Barr Trail and ascend The Peak, I wasted all my time climbing the rocks in the Garden of the Gods. Dang, I even rode the Mt. Manitou Incline to Mt. Manitou's summit, where I could have hiked the remainder of the way to the summit but still I wasted all my chances! Now I'm 69 with 2 artificial knees and 2 artificial hips and I'm guessing it's likely too late. I was very impressed at the hard work the Incline Club volunteers have done to restore the old Incline rail-bed, thus making it possible for so many to enjoy this unparalleled climb. For too many years, it laid wasted. Thanks again for your great story!

[@JasonCrader]

Thank you Joel for such a great comment. It's never too late. Maybe ride the train up and hike the trail down if your knees can't handle the ride up.

[@WhoFlungPoo2024]

I've given it some thought. Will have to see how things advance.

[@moosefactory133]

I want to hike the Barr trail again. I have been training for a long hike this summer either there or the Grand Canyon. I workout several times a week, spending 1/2 on the stair climber and 1/2 hour on the cycle machine. I push myself hard on these machines until I am drenched in sweat. I am trying to build up my endurance. I am pretty good shape for my age (61) and have hiked the Grand Canyon the last two years and the Barr trail back in 2009 but can never be over trained

[@MrCrader]

Good luck! Let me know your hike goes.

[@moosefactory133]

@@MrCrader Oh my gosh, I just now saw your comment. It was been a couple of years since I viewed this video. I ended up hiking down the Bright Angel Trail from the south rim of the Grand Canyon to the Phantom Ranch and back out to the top. It took about 4 hours to get there but another 6 hours to get back to the top. Needless to say, I did not set any speed records. It went well as far as hydration. Before I set off on my hike, I filled my camelback water pack with ice and Gatorade plus there where places along the trail I could get water. Next time I will eat some bananas before and during the hike so I will have enough potassium to hopefully avoid the body cramps I experienced after the hike.

[@JasonCrader]

[@rawx485]

I hiked this with my platoon in 2000. I really wanted to quit, I was a soldier, but not exactly the fittest you had ever seen. The thing I really remember is not using sunscreen, which left me blistered on my neck and head. I ended up with some kind of heat exhaustion I think. It was cold up top and I had huge goosebumps all over, but I wasn't sweating, and I didn't feel cold.

[@JasonCrader]

Thank you for the reminder about sunscreen!

[@jessicagiannetti7430]

Great video! I’m going to attempt this hike in April. Gotta check out those donuts for myself. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you Jessica and you're welcome! Good luck with your hike. Let me know how it goes!

[@tomlonghofer7552]

I attempted to hike up on July 15 (2016) and planned to take the cog railway down, but I missed the turn at the Bottomless Pit Jct and by the time I realized my mistake and got back to the Barr Trail, it was too late to make it to the top in time to ride the train down. I'm not sure if I misread the sign, or just followed the people ahead of me who also missed the turn, but it IS possible and it can spoil your plans, so heed Jason's advice. I enjoyed the video and plan to try again this year. Last year, on the day before my attempt, I drove to the top of Pike's Peak and hiked down for a hour and then turned around and went back up. It took 2:45 to cover the same distance going up that took 1:00 going down. I did this to get a feel for how well I could handle this most difficult part of the hike in the thinnest air.

[@JasonCrader]

Thank you Tom for the additional advice. I hope you get to do this again and make it to the top. You're not the first I've hear of missing the turn at the Bottomless Pit Jct.

[@davidgrant3180]

Funny, I was reading this and thought it sounded very familiar. Then I noticed it was your post. I'm looking forward to making this hike with you.

[@moosefactory133]

Wow! I made the same mistake back in 2009. I kept thinking the trail should start going back up and when I figured it out, I had to turn back and went back down the mountain. I might try again someday if I can stay away from hiking the Grand Canyon for just one vacation trip and go to Colorado instead

I was researching mountains to hike near Denver and came across this. I am heading that way in 2 weeks, and from Little Rock too! haha I thought that was a coincidence! Looks like a great trail, dont think I am in shape enough for 13 miles yet though. Thanks for the video!

[@JasonCrader]

It's a small world isn't it? :) Good luck on your travels. You can't go wrong anywhere in Colorado. Another mountain to check out near Denver is Mount Evans. There is a road to the top and you'll probably see lots of mountain goats up there too. Good luck!

[@Ozarkraptor76]

The incline shaves more than just a mile off the hike. And at the beginning you said pikes Peak is one of the hardest 14ers in Colorado. it’s not the hardest it’s just the longest at 26 miles round-trip. The three sisters down south are so much harder, especially if you try to hit all three of them in one day.

[@kmert7440]

Nice! I've added this trail on my list of must do hikes. Will probably catch the train/bus or have someone pick me up going down.

Awesome! Let me know when you finish it and how it goes! Good luck

Hi Vishal, to combat this I did take some ibuprofen before I began the hike and once again later in the day. We did another day of climbing before this day which also helped acclimate us to the altitude.

[@joeg4780]

Don't know if you read the articles but if you do I have a question. As you climbed you mentioned the new path, the steps going up. Are you still able to take the old path ? When I make the climb I will be pulling an additional 60 pounds or so that will note take the thumping of each step.

[@JasonCrader]

Hi Joe, yes you can take the old path. I just missed the trail on my way up. Most of the folks who were climbing the stairs, took the old path back down tithe parking lot. Why are you hauling 60 pounds up the mountain?

Planning to hike up pikes peak next year. From your video I didn't notice any spots that had a lot of loose stones which would make it impossible to hike it up in my five finger Vibrams without breaking a toe or two. Can you confirm what I think I'm seeing what the trail is like.

[@JasonCrader]

I've not used the five finger Vibrams before so I can not speak from experience but if you're use to using them, I don't think there will be too much of a problem. The path up the mountain is relatively clean and well defined. Having said that though, my feet are very sensitive and I can't imagine doing that in the Vibrams. I'm a boot kind of guy. Good luck with your climb and I'd love to hear about it once you make it to the top!

[@deuce4249]

It's just a a hike up a trail people. Take your time take your water above timber line be ablittle more vigilant with yourself, if you haven't hiked before. You could get nausea but probably not. People make everything so over dramatic. Go light don't be stupid it's beautiful

Thanks for sharing your hike! I am about to walk in your same foot steps Saturday, July 30th! How long did the hike back down take you? Sounded like the altitude didn't slow you down too badly.

[@JasonCrader]

You're welcome Kent! Good luck with your hike later this week. We actually caught a ride back down with another hiker we met on the trail. He was nice enough to take us back to our car parked at the trailhead. I'd budget 4-5 hours for the hike back down. That's what several folks told us. I took a couple Ibuprofen at 4am & at 10am. I read that it helps prevent altitude sickness. I didn't have any altitude problems. Good luck & let me know how things turn out!

[@peteandtessTube]

Hey Jason - I think you did a great video! Congrats on the whole achievement and thanks for taking time and effort to do the video documentary. I am planning to go to COS with a friend and stay about a week in April. I would love to do the Barr Trail one way to the top and take the train down in the same day. How did you come down? Hike or train? Also how did you take adequate water supply? I'm thinking of getting a 3 liter Camelbak with an additional AllClear water purifier. Any thoughts or recommendations? Many thanks again and keep on keeping onward and upward!

[@JasonCrader]

Thank you Pete. I actually caught a ride back down the mountain with another hiker I met along the way. The 3 liter Camelbak should be plenty. That's exactly what I carried and I didn't drink all the water. It's better to stay hydrated than lack at these heights though, so I would caution you to take plenty. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

[@kentcoffland6320]

I had heard that about the ibuprofen from a local as well. Can't hurt either way. The gist is that it thins your blood to let more oxygen in, I guess. If you don't mind me asking, did you have a day pack? It only looks like you and your buddy had camelbacks and water bottles. You also mentioned snacks. How much and what food did you bring for energy? Congrats again on your accomplishment! I'm psyched!!

[@JasonCrader]

Yes, I had an Osprey Talon 22 Day Pack with a 3L Camelbak Hydration Reservoir. I believe I drank around 1.5L of water and a small gatorade. I didn't eat too much on the way up. I believe I had a Cliff bar, a few peanut butter cookies and a pack of peanuts. Once you get to the top, you can get food in the store. I bought two donuts and a chicken sandwich. You can also fill up your water bottles or Camelbak there for free at their water fountains. There was no drinking water available at Barr Camp halfway up the trail, so make sure you bring enough to get you to the top. There are restrooms available at Barr Camp and on top too. Good luck!

[@1vw4me]

I just finished this hike with a 20lbs pack. I required 4 litres of fluid, and 2 Fit Crunch energy bars. I put C4 pre-workout and BCAA's into my drink for energy and recovery. Ibuprofen does help as well.
