You don't have to go far to get away.  Colorado’s newest state park is nestled in the landscape that inspired the song, “America the Beautiful.”  Enter this park and marvel at the mountains above and the Colorado Springs skyline below.
 
Meander and explore amidst nature’s diversity with prairie-to-peak eco-systems and 20 miles of hiking and biking trails.  Stop by the visitor center for information, a little shopping, and educational exhibits or just to relax by the stone fireplace and the wall of windows. 
 
We have an amazing 1680 acres to explore.  Years of thoughtful planning went into the park and visitors can now enjoy recreational opportunities year round.  The park offers top-notch  environmental education programs, trail exploration and picnicking.  The campgrounds are finally open, as well as the Prairie Skipper Group Event Facility.   
 
Our Friends group has a new website.  Click here to go to the Friends of Cheyenne Mountain State Park new website.
