Blodgett Peak, Mountain summit in Pike National Forest, Colorado.
Blodgett Peak rises to 9,430 feet in elevation, featuring steep rocky trails through canyons and dense forest areas within the 167-acre open space.
The mountain was considered as a potential location for the North American Aerospace Defense Command's Combat Operations Center in 1959 before Cheyenne Mountain received selection.
The 2012 Waldo Canyon fire prompted extensive restoration efforts, including soil control measures and reseeding activities supported by local community organizations.
The round-trip hike spans 6.4 miles with 2,680 feet of elevation gain, requiring sturdy footwear and substantial water supplies for the challenging terrain.
The peak provides habitats for peregrine falcons and contains three distinct geological formations: Pierre Shale, Fountain Formation, and Manitou Limestone.
