 Pikes Peak - Crags Campground Trail   

The climb from Crags Campground was a nice alternative route up Pikes Peak. Hiking along side the road wasn't the nicest but going through Devil's Playground was worth it. A good trail for moderate to beginning hikers. It starts steep but levels off for approximately 2 miles around devils playground before getting steep before the summit. The weather was very nice so it made for a good day.
