fragile tundra by HAZ_Hikebot  The first 1/2 mile of the Devil's Playground Trail (also known as the Banana Rock Trail) is shared with the Crags Trail. At the Y, bear right and cross the bridge over the creek. The trail follows an old road to just below the timberline. Above the timberline, the trail crosses the Pikes Peak Highway. The trail parallels the Pikes Peak Highway to the Summit. Please follow the rock cairns above the timberline to protect the fragile tundra. There are beautiful views in the distance of mountain ranges to the north, south, and west of Pikes Peak.
