North Cheyenne Canon Park
About
North Cheyenne Canon Park is a city park managed by the City of Colorado Springs, about 4.5 miles from Manitou Springs, Colorado. It works as a base for several kinds of outdoor recreation, with hiking, mountain biking and climbing areas all within half a mile of the park. For timing, summer brings the warmest weather. Typical averages from the Ruxton Park weather station, about 6 miles away at roughly 9,060 feet, run in the low 70s for highs in June and July, though July and August also see the most wet days, so September offers a drier alternative with highs in the mid-60s. Captain Jacks Trail 667 starts just 0.2 miles away, and the spring creek mountain bike route sits even closer. Climbers can head to Army Slab and the North Cheyenne Canyon climbing area, both within half a mile.
