Stopped for lunch on the way from Kansas to Colorado Springs where we picked up some fast food and…read morewanted somewhere to sit and eat. Park was empty, well-kept with a nice shaded pavilion with picnic tables and trash cans. We didn't play on the wooden jungle gym, but enjoyed the locale nonetheless. Note: if the wind blows from the north, it smells like dairy. Not overwhelming, but might ruin your lunch if you are sensitive. I feel like the last 2.5 hours driving through Kansas smelled like dairy, so not something I would discourage others from checking this place out if they just want a spot to relax. Same smell (worse) when we were getting the food from the restaurant.

We planned a camping weekend specifically so we could get an early start at Paint Mines. Hindsight,…read moreI would want to start a bit earlier even next time. We were on the trail at 8. Use sunscreen, wear a hat and bring water. The trails are well marked as are the areas that they are protecting from humans. My husband and I had a great time seeing all the formations. We started from the southernmost parking lot. Either lot works as a start point. The southern lot does not have bathroom or port-a-pot. We saw antelope on the drive there. Deer while on the trail as well as many types of birds. The wildflowers were blooming here and there and some cactus had flowers. Once we got back to our vehicle, we drove around to the overlook parking lot and did that vantage point as well. Highly recommend doing this as you get such a different perspective from being down amongst the formations and then seeing more of a composite from above. It is a worthy visit and hike. Be prepared for it to get hot, quick. Hence wanting an earlier start next time. Would do again!

It was a bit of a drive from the city, but worth it. I was there in early July and it was almost…read moretoo hot, but we came prepared and decided not to complete the entire loop due to the heat. I bet this would be a cool spring hike with all of the wildflowers. Plenty of parking and thankfully there was a bathroom. Beautiful rock formations.

The trails themselves were nice, other than the frequent horse poop that had to be dodged. Also, a little odd that the surface changed frequently, from gravel to dirt, to a reddish sand. And of course, a few areas of mud and ice but not too bad. Points for a few trash cans, along with picnic tables and benches. Not the best hike in the world, but it was fine and relatively easy. And not a ton of views, other than a couple of glimpses of Pikes Peak and a bit of the front range.
