Confirmed from Raspberry Mountain's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Raspberry Mountain
“Not great views but it doesn't attract as many people as mt herman”
I did this one combined with Mt. Herman. Raspberry mountain doesn’t have the best views and compared to Mt Herman it is like a small hill. You can see some of Pikes Peak from the summit and the entirety of Mt. Herman. The only difficult part about this trail (if you decide not to do Mt.
One of the more fun and scenic trails I've visited. Love the fact it's a quick jump to Herman. The trail has a nice inclice(white ghost trail) that isn't to steep. Alot is out in the open so remember to put on sun screen. Beautiful trail with lots of lookouts. Remember to use AllTrails or an app like that.
This is a great place to hike. Parking was 5$ the last time I was there and there was a “no dogs allowed” sign for the trail
This was a wonderful trail to get a good workout on. As others have mentioned, you definitely want to go clockwise and get that step first mile or the way. Theres still a little over on the trail in that first mile but it's manageable without spikes if you have good balance and TAKE YOUR TIME.
