Garden of the Gods/Palmer loop-Siamese Twins-Scotsman trail/Colorado/2026 Trail Series

Come along with me on a stunning 3.3‑mile loop through Garden of the Gods, one of Colorado Springs’ most iconic landscapes. In this episode, I hike the Palmer Trail, climb to the famous Siamese Twins rock formation, and return on the quieter, more peaceful Scotsman Trail — a route that blends jaw‑dropping views with grounding moments of calm. This loop has it all: sweeping red rock formations, Pikes Peak perfectly framed through the Siamese Twins window, rolling terrain, and a mix of popular and quiet sections that make it perfect for hikers of all levels. With about 449 feet of elevation gain, it’s a manageable adventure whether you’re a beginner looking for a challenge, a local wanting dependable scenery, or someone building back mileage after injury or surgery like I am. During this hike, I take you through: 🌄 Gentle climbs on the Palmer Trail 🪨 The “movie screen” moment when the Siamese Twins arch reveals Pikes Peak 🌲 Peaceful stretches on the Scotsman Trail 💬 Honest reflections on healing, grounding, and reconnecting with nature If you're looking for a loop that delivers big views without being overwhelming, this is it.
