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.
