The High Five route is a lollipop loop linking up the five peaks — El Capitan, the Lonesome Bachelor, and the three (West, Middle, and East) Como Sisters — along the headwall ridge of the Little Rock Creek canyon in the Bitterroot mountains, starting and finishing at the Little Rock Creek trailhead. The route emphasizes scrambling efficiently over rocky ridgelines and boulderfields, but sections of trail running and bushwhacking make it a good test of several types of mountain movement.

Overview. This is the outer loop at the Garden of the Gods, a registered National Natural Landmark with dramatic views on 300' towering sandstone rock formations against a backdrop of snow-capped Pikes Peak. This route is completely on trails with the exception of 3 road crossings; while not entering the paved inner circuit across the main attractions of the park, it grants spectacular views from different angles and elevations on some of the most impressive rock formations in Colorado.
