CO-Austin Bluffs Open Space

Colorado

Located in the north part of Colorado Springs, the Austin Bluffs Open Space consists of a series of bluffs, valleys and mesas with scrub oak, mountain shrub and tallgrass prairie meadow vegetation amongst unique rock formations. This area used to be connected to the mountain foothills to the west, but development of the I-25 corridor has left this ecologically-similar area somewhat separate. This area is heavily used by recreationalists for activities such as hiking, running, wildlife viewing, horseback riding and cycling.
