Paint Mine Upper Parking Lot

I'm from Colorado and I recently discovered this hidden gem. I was surprised that this place was in the eastern plaines. Amazing. It is hot w/very little shade. Bring lots of water, hat and sunscreen. I'll be back and will go in the early am to beat the crowds.

Absolutely gorgeous experience. There's a short 10 minute walk down to the mines from the lot. The colors are so vibrant I felt like I was on another planet. Definitely a must see.

Cool place to visit and get the kids out of the house. It's free and there are restrooms should you need them.

Thus place is awesome, Be prepared to walk a few miles when visiting this Place. Located about 35 miles east of Colorado Springs in Calhan, Colorado off of Calhan Highway. Turn left on Paint mines Rd. & follow it to the Paint Mines. There is a Public restroom in the lower Parking lot. Hope you guys enjoy this place as well as many other Tourist attractions in & around Colorado Springs 👍👍

Really enjoyed my hike here! Went at sunrise on a Wednesday morning and didn't see another person, only rabbits and mule deer. GPS took me to the lower parking, not the main one with the bathroom. It got 4 stars because I rarely give 5 stars unless something blows my mind.
