~DESCRIPTION AND VIEWS: At the viewpoint, there are expansive views of the Rampart Range, and pikes Peak to the South. The Rampart Range is a low mountain range that stretches from south of Denver to Colorado Springs. The range is characterized by scraggy granite peaks jutting out of green forested foothills. At sunrise the granite rock formations light up orange and pink, and look like a series of castles or the rampart wall of a giant ancient fortress. My favorite view of the Rampart Range is from the Devils Head trail and from the Fire Lookout Tower up on Devils Head. It’s the tallest peak in the range with an elevation of 9632 feet.

~DIRECTIONS: The trailhead is about 50 minutes from downtown Denver. From Denver, take 285 South to Conifer, Colorado taking the Kennedy Gulch exit. At the exit, you’ll take a left onto Kennedy Gulch Road, which will go under the 285 overpass. At the next stop sign, you’ll see a red barn in front of you and an entrance to 285 on your right. Here, you’ll take a left onto Foxton Road. This is where that beautiful stretch of road begins. Drive for about 5 miles and the Reynolds Park parking area will be on your right. The parking area can hold about 45 vehicles.

I hope to see you then
Drive safe
