It's really not a tough hike if you have climbed the incline it is comparable. From the Blodgett Trailhead parking lot go on the southern trail. I believe it's called Wagon Wheel and head West. Eventually you come to the base of the mountain where it goes back into the thick trees if you stay on the main trail. I go on a rough trail that is kind of steep to the left and head up overlooking the quarry. From there it flattens out. If you head West in the Waldo Canyon burn area you come to the top of Petkash Peak. Great View of Pikes Peak when you hit the top. It took me about 1:15 to hike.

It's a fun hike...while more challenging in a technical sense than something like Pikes Peak with an established hiking trail, it's suitable for anyone with moderate fitness.

I'm trying to climb more mountains in the Colorado Springs area...anyone ever climbed Petkash Peak? The pics look really pretty...it looks like there's a great view of Pikes Peak? Is it all scrambling or is there an existing trail? How does it compare to Blodgett?
