BETA PHOTO: Pangborn's Pinnacle from the descent trail.
Description
This rock is accessed from The Crags campground day use parking. A trail takes you to a split with the right hand fork going across a bridge and up to the summit of Pike's Peak eventually. Take the left fork and stay in the drainage. Within about a mile the pinnacle will become very visible on your right.
Getting There
From US Highway 24 out of Colorado Springs, drive past Woodland Park to Divide and take a left on CO 67 to Cripple Creek. Just past the entrance to Mueller State Park, look for a brown NP sign on the left that says "Crags TH." Turn down this dirt road and take a right at the Mennonite camp and drive a mile or so further. Turn into the Crags campground and park at the end of the road. Parking is free for day use.
