Mueller State Park
Every fall, we head to Mueller State Park to enjoy the Autumn leaves.  Our tradition is to hike down to the rocky cliffs of Raven Ridge, have lunch (usually consisting of grapes, cheese, crackers, sandwiches, cookies, and drinks), build a fort out of the dead wood, and just explore the rocky ledges.  Sometimes, pine cone fights break out and the true strength of your fort is tested.  It's always a good time.  Sometimes, I'll just go for a run up there, or enjoy the views from Grouse Mountain.  There's lots of trails to explore and things to do.  It's a great place that's not too far from home.

getting there:

Address: Mueller State Park, 21045 CO-67, Divide, CO 80814
 1) From Colorado Springs, head West on US-24 toward Woodland Park.
 2) Head on through Woodland Park, and proceed on to Divide.
 3) When you get to Divide, turn left on CO-67 and the entrance to Mueller will be on your right.

The Park:

Mueller is a well maintained state park with all the amenities you come to expect in Colorado state parks.  There is a fee to use the park, but if you frequent any of the other awesome state parks in Colorado, you probably have an annual pass anyway.

Mueller has a wide variety of terrain from forests of pine, spruce, fur, fir, and aspen to mounds of Pikes Peak granite to meadows and small ponds.  At different times of the year, elk, bear, deer, and other mammals can be found wondering around.  In the winter, you can go snowshoeing, sledding, and cross country skiing here.  It's a year round place of fun and adventure!
