Seven Lakes Region

I am planning a hiking trip from Colorado Springs out to the Seven Lakes Region west of the springs. I have a map that shows that permit access may be required. On the map they provided a phone #, which turns out to be Colorado Springs Utilities. In speaking with them I was told that no permits are available and that access is denied to all. I would like to get out to Lake Moraine as I understand it to be one of the few lakes in Colorado that was damned by ancient glacial action. I will continue to investigate how to get a permit and will update the blog when I find out.
