Edna Mae Bennet Nature Trail and Templeton Trail
Posted by kris under: Trails .
Name of Trial: Edna Mae Bennet Nature Trail
Total Distance: 2.5 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Hike Type: Loop
Starting Location: Palmer Park
Yesterday my wife and I hiked some of the trails at Palmer Park. We started off of Edna Mae Bennet Nature Trail and did a little excursion on the Templeton Trail. That start of Edna Mae is a little challenge especially for bicyclist, because of the many steps and some large rocks that are about 2-3 feet high. The over all train was rocky with few trees and a lot of shrubs. These trails reminded me of hiking in Mesa Arizona, with spars vegetation, even cactus in some places. There were some great views of the city as well as Pikes Peek. Over all it was a challenging hike in some places but a little to open for me. I like hiking more in the forest areas.
Templeton Trail was more flat and not very challenging once you were on it. Once again it was very open and felt more like dessert hiking, epically since the sun was out and it was in the mid to upper 70s. There is some parking on the top so if you did not want to make the trek trough part of Edna Mae Bennet Nature Trail then you could start there.
I did like the labeling on the Palmer Park sighs because they did tell you the difficulty lever using the green circle, blue square, and black diamond classifications. This helped my wife and I pick the right hike for us.
