This path is littered with homeless people! Their tents, clotheslines, and trash line the river and completely destroy what would be a beautiful view of the river. Worse than the bike paths in downtown Denver!!
For those rail trail enthusiasts who prefer consistent crushed gravel, this trail offers that for a bit. Close to Slate River it turns to big rocks and tree ruts. Definitely a mountain bike trail not a rail trail.
Midweek ride, not many people on the trail. Beautiful scenery, spots to stop, close to town so you could stop for a meal/drink. Best thing for me was the Botanic Garden. The gate is on the trail. So beautiful!!
This is a great trail for all! It’s paved and there are some side trails. You can take if you want a mountain bike. I would definitely start the trail clockwise. You can park at the Family Dollar. My friends and I rented bikes and packed lunches. Because of so much history along the way it took us 3 1/2 hours to do 12 miles.
Our first experience with our e-bikes. Rode north and south twice it was so nice. Even saw a deer on the path . We should have brought a picnic along if we thought about it earlier. Well maintained and marked, follows the river so not much uphill to get tired over. We were staying in town so just rode to the river and turned right but saw several places to park and access the trail.
This could be the best commuter trail with a little work. City of Colorado Springs: PLEASE build an underpass at Academy Blvd. That crossing is presently dangerous for schoolchildren trying to bike. Please plant more low-water shade trees along this path.
This is a pretty trail and easy for beginners. Just be aware that the Bike Path is CLOSED underneath the Arapahoe and Liverpool intersection, so you have to cross at the street level. Other than that it is a very enjoyable ride.
This ride has to be on your bucket list for the gorgeous canyon rocks with I-70 weaving in between. The concrete path was well maintained and not blocked between Grizzly Creek and Bair Ranch. The traffic noise wasn’t even so bad on the day we came.
To go all the way around the lake is very difficult. The entire south side of the lake is very difficult and includes a stretch on a narrow road. The west, north, and east sides were awesome.
Please be aware that Class 1 and Class 2 Ebikes are allowed on the trail from Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs (the north end of the trail) down to Basalt. But from Basalt to Aspen is only Class 1 Ebikes. We did not ride this part so not sure if it is enforced. Kind of discouraging as we are old (78) and very respectful and responsible riders. We use our throttles sparingly but I find it so helpful especially taking off from a stop.
