Scar Mountain, also known as Queens Canyon Quarry or The Greg Francis Bighorn Sheep Habitat is a bare hill easily visible from many parts of Colorado Springs. It is located just north of Garden of the Gods with Queens Canyon on its western side. It's a fairly steep hike with great views and if you are lucky you may see a herd of Bighorn Sheep that live there.
