Cutler trail and then heads west at the trail intersection of Mt. Cutler saddle. The trail can be accessed from the trailhead along N. Cheyenne Canon Road. Along the way you'll see great views of Stratton Open Space and 360 degree views of Colorado Springs. Take this hike for a solitary experience.

Starsmore Discovery Center is located here. Turn right onto N. Cheyenne Canon Road (past the iron gate) and travel for 1.5 miles to the trailhead on the left side of the road. Look for the “Mt. Cutler Hiking Trail” sign.
