ACCESSIBILITY
At Cheyenne Mountain, visitors with disabilities can use four-wheeled Terrain Hoppers (10-inch clearance and 35%-incline-climbing ability), to explore designated trails within the park.
The Terrain Hopper is available for reservation every Friday and Saturday, from Memorial Day Weekend through October 1, but please check our availability calendar before making a reservation. Reservations must be made a minimum of two weeks ahead of time. You will receive a reservation confirmation email.
We are offering an out-and-back hike along Talon Trail, up to the intersection between Talon and Sundance Trails. This route is about 2.25 miles long, and includes beautiful views of Cheyenne Mountain and Colorado Springs. It should take around 1.5 hours to complete.
All hikes begin from the Limekiln trailhead, which is located at the first left past the entrance stations.
Please arrive at the Limekiln parking lot 15 minutes ahead of your reservation time for a safety briefing and a practice lap in the Terrain Hopper.
All Terrain Hopper reservations are tentative, and are subject to change to cancellation by park staff for any reason including inclement weather.
For more detailed information to help prepare you for your Terrain Hopper experience, please contact the park at [email protected] or at 719-576-2016.
