Son of Sentinel Loop Hike - Pikes Peak Colorado

Here's a great day hike loop near Colorado Springs - Son of Sentinel Loop. It's 3300 ft elevation gain over 10.5 miles. There's a few miles of open alpine tundra, ruins from an abandoned mine, and some off trail bushwhacking. This isn't for beginners. But on a perfect fall day, it'll define the love for adventure and nature.

Absolutely beautiful place and so lovely walking tour, simply enjoyable content my friend!

[@DavidonEarth]

Thanks for watching! It's not the Alps, but it's a great local thing for me.

[@DrJohn493]

Some nice alpine scenery in this one AND thanks for the map! Nice addition to the video. But I cheated...I looked at the map first then went back to the beginning.😉

[@DavidonEarth]

I aim to please. 😀 It was a gem of a day!

[@tangenttrails]

Seems I heard of this trail. I’ll have to check it out next time I’m vacationing in the area. Thanks David.

[@DavidonEarth]

Definitely! If you get good weather, do it! Very peaceful up there. Thanks for watching

[@seanstarkey6679]

Great video! I might have to make this hike before the snow settles in!

[@DavidonEarth]

Yes. Hopefully the wind won't carry you away!
