This is a nice little trail good for casual riding and commuting. The trail's northern end is near Woodmen Rd (two nearby parking facilities) and ends 16 miles south to the El Pomar Youth Sports complex. The trail primarily parallels Monument Creek. Trail surface varies from dirt to old asphalt to newer concrete sections. The trail takes you through several parks and sports complexes (featuring ball fields, skate parks, etc.). You can take your fishing gear and fish in Pike View Reservoir. There are great views of Pikes Peak and other front range mountains. The entire trail is an easy grade and is very popular with walkers, runners, inline skaters and bicyclists, especially on weekends and with good weather. Several other local trails (e.g., Sinton, Midland, and Tempelton Gap trails) branch off for additional exploration. There are a few rough areas of the trail, rutted and rocky, but recent improvements, especially between Woodmen Rd and Monument Valley Park with new concrete surface, make for a very enjoyable and safe ride.
