Buffalo Creek Trail Also known as the St. Mary's Falls Trail, this trail is close to downtown and easily accessible for everyone. Maintenance on the trail was neglected for 30 years which has created a unique opportunity to improve a great trail. Friends of the Peak began work on this trail last year and were able to complete the first 1.25 miles. The remaining sections of trail are generally in good shape, but need work to improve drainage and to reduce the grade to reduce further rutting. The trailhead will be accessed via the closed section of Gold Camp Road and work will be conducted every other Thursday throughout the summer.

Maintenance Hikes In an ongoing basis to ensure that all existing trails are well maintained, Friends of the Peak will begin offering maintenance hikes on existing trails. The goal of these hikes will be to hike the trail, or sections of it, while documenting major areas to be addressed later and fixing minor issues as they are discovered.
Sat, July 24th — Maintenance Hike on Seven Bridges Trail Sat, Aug 14th — Maintenance Hike on Barr Trail
Devil's Playground Trail This workday will be on the last section of this trail in its approach to the summit of Pikes Peak . The trail winds through a boulder field and the trail is not well defined. This is causing confusion for hikers approaching the summit from the west. Friends of the Peak will work to correct alignment problems and make sure the trail is clearly marked.
Sat, Aug 28th — Devil's Playground Trail
