Embark on the Intemann Trail for a moderate hike spanning 6.5 miles (10.5 km) with an elevation gain of 1039 feet (317 metres), typically completed in about 3 hours and 17 minutes. You'll experience diverse terrain, moving through peaceful pine forests and open meadows, then onto exposed bluffs. As you hike, look for the striking red rock canyons, which echo the formations found in the Garden of the Gods. The route offers rewarding views of Manitou Springs and the distinctive Finger Rock, providing a varied and engaging outdoor experience.
Planning your visit to the Intemann Trail is straightforward, as it's suitable for hiking year-round. However, be aware that parking can be quite limited, particularly if you plan to go on a weekend. To ensure a more relaxed experience and easier access, you might consider starting your hike on a weekday. This trail also serves as a useful connection, linking Manitou Springs directly to Section 16 and Bear Creek Regional Park.
The Intemann Trail winds through an ecosystem rich with native plants like Gamble oak and juniper, alongside seasonal wildflowers. You might also spot an intermittent waterfall along the way, adding to the natural beauty. The Nice overlook (Section 16) provides expansive views across the city and plains, making this trail a notable option for experiencing the local landscape and its unique geological features.
