In the city of Glenwood Springs on the banks of the Colorado River, three trails converge. To the east is Glenwood Canyon Recreation Trail, to the south the Rio Grande Trail and to the west, is this relatively short multiuse path along Midland Avenue.
The Midland Avenue Trail is paved and extends east for 2.7 miles from the Rio Grande Trail up to Linden Street. A bridge offers views of the mighty Colorado River. The trail also offers access to some big box retail along the way.
Parking is available at the small lot at the corner of Midland Avenue and Devereux Road.
Location: Glenwood Springs, CO
Parking: Devereux Rd
Trail Condition: Western end of trail is newer and trail condition is excellent, wide and concrete. Towards the east the trail is fine but with some cracking.
Signage: Good directional signs.
Comments: This is a good connector trail from west Glenwood Springs to downtown Glenwood Springs and other trails in that area. There are several underpasses and a new overpass to avoid busy streets into the Glenwood Meadows shopping district. Some minor uphill and downhill. It worthy of a ride.
