Mount Herman Trail

Monument Colorado's Topological Highpoint Monument is about 10 miles north of Colorado Springs and straddles the Rio Grande Railroad. Mt Herman rises from the plain on which the Monument rests as the skyline of Colorado Springs dominates. Mt Herman is the place to go for those who like their mountains accessible and manageable hikes. The hiker will gain and lose 1000 feet in elevation during the 2 mile trek. On a clear day, the top of the mountain is visible to the southwest and Kansas City to the east. It is only about 9100 feet high, so there is enough oxygen to enjoy the time one spends contemplating whichever scene is most captivating.
