Spruce Mountain ~5.5 mi Lollipop

We're heading up to Larkspur for this popular trek!

We will make our way out of the parking lot to hang a left onto the Oak Trail, which will wind us up to the main Spruce Mountain Trail. Once we climb to the top notch, we are afforded a wonderful view south over Palmer and the local area. We continue west from here and split right to hike a loop around to another spectacular overlook facing west. Continuing around, we close our loop back at the Spruce Mtn Trail and back down the mountain to the parking lot.

Total elevation gain ~580'

Spikes highly recommended, esp with any incoming snow. Dogs allowed on leash. Hope to see you all there!

Lunch post-hike in the small town of Palmer Lake is an option :).
