| sarah.simon | McNiel to Swisher  Date Climbed: Nov 1, 2009 | |
| This was a great way to start the month of November. Just the rigt amount of snow was on the mountain: Enough to make it look like winter but not so much that the post-holing was intolerable. We enjoyed lunch and a Stella on the summit before following our steps back down to the vehicle. The steep Swisher trail is a bit of an adventure in slick conditions! Partners: Deb & Kevin. | |

| Took the excellent MacNeil Trail to the top of the Horns, then backtracked and up the Scheiffer (?) trail to the Cheyenne Mtn saddle and bushwhacked the ridge to the summit. Made the mistake of descending the north slopes back down to the MacNeil trail; rough bushwhack with some dispersed cliff bands and thick vegetation. | |

| A rather warm Labor Day ascent with my wife. We were off a little as we gained a sub-summit first, but made quick work over to the true summit, with hundreds of thousands of lady bugs. | |

| I made a trip down to Colorado Springs to see a Sedge Wren which is rare in Colorado. After whiffing on the bird I headed to the prominent landmark of Cheyenne Mountain, found a place to park and just headed up where it seemed easiest, wasn't sure of legal access at the time. | |

| Interesting ridge walk to get both The Horns and Cheyenne. Great hike back on the MacNeil trail. Who knew it was so great? | |

| Went back to this cool peak with Jeremy to explore the ridge connecting it to the Horns. Great loop: 9.5 miles, 3,100 ft. vertical, 4 hrs., 45 min., 2 ranked peaks! | |

| Climbed the southwest slopes from the Old Broadmoor Stables with my son JP. It was an absolutely beautiful day. I loved the stands of aspen that popped all over the rounte. | |

| Found the trail near the stables easily. Went up the hill N/NE, passed a fire ring then headed directly east up the steep slope of Cheyenne. Great fun. | |

| Turned out to be easier than expected; no route finding problems. A little snow on the ground, but clear, warm weather. Great views, and another local peak goes down! | |

| shknbke | via antenna farm road Date Climbed: Feb 28, 2004 | |
| Climbed Cheyenne from Old Stage via the antenna farm road. Left the road at a 9000' saddle and bushwacked due west to the summit. Nice hike to do in winter. | |
