RV rental Cheyenne Mountain State Park, CO: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

The hiking and biking trail network is one of the biggest draws to Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Whether you're looking for a short, easy stroll or a long, grueling trek, you'll find a route to suit your abilities here. The half-mile Acorn Valley Trail is accessible for visitors with mobility issues. The Talon Trail is a moderate path just over two and a half miles long which leads through a variety of terrain. Horseback riders can also access a portion of this trail. Thrillseekers craving a challenge will want to hike to the summit of Cheyenne Mountain. Be aware that this route isn't for the faint of heart! This hike starts at Limekiln Trailhead and leads you on a round trip of over 17 miles, but those who endure will be rewarded with breathtaking vistas from the top. At the summit, take the Mountain Loop and wander through meadows and groves. If you're highly skilled and physically fit, scramble along the ridge on the aptly named Dragon's Backbone Trail. If you're out of breath just thinking about it, plan to enjoy a packed lunch at one of the park's 41 picnic sites. Afterward, wander the park at your own pace in search of area wildlife. Birdwatchers will be in their element here with the opportunity to spot more than 100 species. Peregrine falcons, American kestrels, and hawks are among the rare finds. Keep an eye out for mule deer and elk grazing in the prairie. If you're really lucky, you might even spot an elusive bobcat or black bear. For something a little different, pack your archery equipment in the rental RV and head to the range. The south side of the archery range even offers 3D animal targets. Note that you'll need to obtain a permit to enjoy this part of the range.
