Description

The Elder-Fehn Trail begins at the Catamount Recreation Area parking lot. The singletrack ascends and descends along the terrain near the reservoir, with a few short, steep parts, but nothing too challenging or technical.

At mile 1.5, the Vayhinger Trail runs south towards North Catamount Creek and connects to the Catamount Trail.

The Elder-Fehn Trail then continues to gently climb towards a prominence, looping around the north side and gradually climbing to the apex at the south side of the loop. The trail then descends back to the beginning of the loop.

Nice views of Pikes Peak. Relatively flat and short & sweet! Caught the back-end of a storm though.
