Brief Trail Description
	Lincoln Mountain has a breathtaking view of Pikes Peak, the Rampart Range, and the eastern plains of Douglas County. The trail system takes visitors through the fields to a forested and rocky pass up to the flat top. From the trailhead, the Lincoln Mountain Trail is 4.2 miles round trip, and the Palmer Divide Ranch Trail is 4.5 miles round trip. The two may be joined together for an 8.3-mile outing. Travel 4.5 miles on Palmer Divide Ranch Trail through upland meadows to Cherry Creek. Ascend to forested rocky ledges that lead back toward the trailhead. The 4.2-mile Lincoln Mountain Trail traverses 400′ up the open hillside of Lincoln Mountain and skirts through Gambel oaks and a scattering of pines and rhyolite rocks. View Pikes Peak, Palmer Divide, and ranchlands of the Upper Cherry Creek Valley from the 7,394′ top.
