The trail from Glen Eyrie Castle has been closed since the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012, and the public can't park there now. The only way in seems to be to hike down a gully from Rampart Range Road, but the problem with that (in addition to a very strenuous hike back up) seems to be is there is no parking anywhere along that road. I've been trying to find a way I can fly my drone at least a little way up the canyon -- it's legal to fly over it as long as I can find a nearby place that it's legal to launch and land.

Yeah, I figured it hadn't gotten any easier since we used to stomp around in it back in the '70's. ZZenith Feb 2021 #17
