Pikes Peak Nature Journaling Club

A special Event of the 2025

Hone your observational skills and learn more about the ecosystems on Pikes Peak!

Along with something to journal in and write with, don't forget to bring plenty of water, snacks/lunch, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, pretty much anything you would want on a day hike. Sturdy shoes would be a plus, but not a requirement, as we will be doing a very short, easy walk on a dirt path.

There are restrooms and snacks/water for sale at the gift shop, but no potable water to fill your bottle.

We will meet at 10am by the Bigfoot Statue in the parking lot of Crystal Reservoir. This is at Mile-6 of the Pikes Peak Highway.

Note: this event is FREE, but let the Ranger at the gate as you enter the Pikes Peak Highway know that you are only going to the reservoir for nature journaling. The cost for the toll road will then be reduced to $5 per adult and children under 16 will be free. The entrance is at 5089 Pikes Peak Highway, Cascade, CO 80809 (map).

This event is subject to cancellation if bad weather is forecast. Check the website below for updates or you can call (719) 385-7325.
