Most closures will last only one day; however, a three-week closure is scheduled for the beginning of March and again in October.
All closures will be posted on the Academy’s website, https://www.usafa.edu/visitors/hiking-biking-trails/.

The trail is popular among hikers, families and cyclists. Besides taking in the amazing views, one will also see wildlife, interesting geological features and interpretive signs.
