Local hiking trail, beginning in the town of Green Mountain Falls (just 2.5 miles down the road).
Hiking is a popular activity with water falls, lakes and a fabulous view of Pikes Peak. The trails begin at the parking area near the Green Mountain Falls Lake at the intersection of Foster and Ute Pass Avenue.
Catamount Falls is a series of waterfalls located west of Green Mountain Falls. To access the falls follow Hondo or Belvidere Ave. The roads provide access to private homes, so beware as cars also travel the road. This is the outflow from Catamount Reservoirs on the north slope of Pikes Peak. The reservoirs are 3 miles from the falls if you're looking for a longer trip.
