Gleneagle and Monument

Castlewood Canyon State Park is the place to visit for any outdoor enthusiast. The town of Monument maintains its small town atmosphere with unique shops and restaurants. Monument is named after Monument Rock, a majestic natural wonder located off Mount Herman Road. Numerous trails surrounding the rock are perfect for a casual forest stroll.

Trails for horse back riding, hiking and biking are numerous. A sixteen mile stretch of the Santa Fe Trail extends from Palmer Lake to the south entrance of the Air Force Academy. The Greenland trailhead winds through rolling grasslands, past ponds, through oak scrublands and pines where fox and deer are frequently seen. Other outdoor activities include golf with four scenic golf courses and a spectacular view of the mountains.

The Town of Palmer Lake, located 3 miles to the northwest of Monument is a quaint mountain town. There is a walking trail along the shoreline and the beginning of the Santa Fe Regional Trail which follows the abandoned Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad right of way. The Lucretia Vaile Museum, Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts, wonderful dining, scenery, hiking trails and a place for artistic inspiration are all part of the daily experiences of Palmer Lake.

One of the states most visited tourist attractions is The United States Air Force Academy. It is located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just north of Colorado Springs, adjacent to Gleneagle and just south of the Monument-Palmer Lake area. The aerodynamic design of the Chapel with seventeen spires that reach 150 feet up towards the azure sky is the most prominent landmark at the academy.
