    We also realize that sometimes it can be intimidating to go out on a hike on your own so that is where Adventures Out West (AOW) in Colorado Springs comes in. With trails ranked Green, Blue, Black and Double Black you can decide which is right for you. As long as you can walk 1-4 miles at an altitude of 6k-9k and have no physical limitations you should be fine on these hikes (running is a different story).
