Hike We Like: Mt. Muscoco Trail
It s only two miles to this 8,020-foot summit near Colorado Springs, but you ll need to climb more than 1,000 vertical feet and scramble over a few boulders to reach it. Daliah Singer •

Difficulty: Intermediate/difficult
Why We Love It: It’s an everyday hike (for Colorado Springs locals, at least) with a big payoff: 360-degree city
and mountain views.
Pre-hike Buzz: The Exchange has a vast food menu to accompany its Cuban coffee and other caffeinated beverages.
When to Go: Year-round, though it can get icy in the winter (bring microspikes to be safe)
