The city website’s description of the trail is below; I couldn’t find an online topo of this trail.

While the “actual” trail is fairly short, the walk to the trailhead from the car (and back) adds about 1-1/2 miles.

The trail itself was a little easier than I’d like (maybe a bit short), but we also didn’t make it all the way to Jones Park. Shortly after the 7th bridge, the trail changed from a normal hike trail to rock scrambling. It didn’t feel safe enough to cover with a baby, and several other hikers I encountered confirmed that the top portion is too dangerous. Oh, well.

Seven Bridges Trail (Pike National Forest):

Length: About 1.6 miles from the trailhead to Jones Park.

Elevation Gain: Trailhead 7600’, Jones Park 8900’

General Description: The trailhead is directly off the closed portion of Gold Camp Rd (on the west side). Park at the intersection of Gold Camp Rd, High Dr and Cheyenne Cañon Rd. Hike past the gate to the northwest of the parking area and follow the closed portion of Gold Camp Rd .7 miles to the trailhead. The trail is a moderate hike, which criss-crosses Cheyenne Creek over a series of seven bridges.
