Animas River Trail

Relaxing and scenic

August, 2024 by rbruhn_tl

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.

Rock Island Trail (CO)

Could be marvelous

August, 2024 by mmcnussbaum

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.

Pretty trail for riders

August, 2024 by mneely845

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.

Glenwood Canyon Recreation Trail

Can’t Beat the Scenery

August, 2024 by rjk2

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.

Rio Grande Trail

Ebike Info

July, 2024 by barbscondo

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.

Rio Grande Trail

Good Trail. Nice Scenery

July, 2024 by barbscondo

We parked at Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs. You can access the start of the trail within the park. It is 13 miles to Carbondale where you can have lunch right on the trail at Dos Gringos Burritos. So a nice 26 mile round trip. It doesn't look like it but it is a very gentle uphill grade on the way to Carbondale and an easy downhill glide back to the park. You are somewhat along the river part of the way and thru rolling ranch land. and some along the road. Not much shade. Lots of stuff to look at - beautiful homes along the river/cemetary (I like them)/big tree farm/hayfields. All in all a really nice ride.

We rode this trail Monday, July 15, 2024 We parked at Exit 119 which is the No Name Exit and Rest area. Right next to Glenwood Canyon Resort. A great place to park. We rode East on the trail right (literally) along the river. What fun. The river was really running with rapids and there were a lot of rafts/boats/and even 3 paddleboarders! braving the rapids. The SAD part is that we got about 5 miles on the trail and at the Shoshone Hydro Plant the trail was completely fenced and closed due to high water the sign said. What a disappointment. So we turned around and headed back to the Rest area and continued on -it looks like there is a break in the trail on Traillink but you ride down a rural road and pick up the trail again-this time riding higher above the river. Then you come to the crazy wire covered overpass over I-70. We rode across but then immediately the trail turns west and runs right along I-70. No shade and lots of traffic. So we turned around again. Would be an unbelievable ride if the whole trail was open.

Cherry Creek Regional Trail

2nd day on this trail-

July, 2024 by barbscondo

We again parked at Village Greens Park (lots of big shade trees to keep the jeep cool) and this time headed south on the trail. It winds around the Cherry Creek Reservoir and then meanders south. Not much shade in this direction. We rode 10 miles south to Cottonwood Park and then turned around (getting hot) so a nice 20 mile round trip. There was a big prairie dog colony and a long stretch of trail with baby grasshoppers hopping all over the joint. The thing I enjoyed most about this trail is that it is NOT straight like so many-constantly twisting and curving. Made it more interesting. There are some fast food restaurants along the way at one point.

Mary Carter Greenway (Arapahoe Greenway)

Fun path along the South Platte River

July, 2024 by barbscondo

Had a hard time finding a good parking place. Ended up parking near the Regal theater at River Point Shopping area in Sheridan. From here you can directly access the Mary Carter Trail and The Bear Creek Trail. This puts you almost at the North end of the Trail. (We did see a good parking area at the south end of the trail-not sure what that is called) We rode south for about 8 miles to the end. It connects directly to the C-470 trail both East and West at the point. Really fun trail/Some shade/right along the river/people tubing/in inflatables going over the little rapids/huge ducks/nice stopping place with lots of tables in the shade at Nixon's Coffee and someone told us there is a brewery right off the trail.

Cherry Creek Regional Trail

Wonderful fun path

July, 2024 by barbscondo

We parked at Village Greens Park which is near the Cherry Creek Reservoir. from here you could choose North or South on the trail. We rode north on the trail for 11 miles and ended up in the center of Denver at First Street. Then the trail started to run along the busy street so we turned around. It was a great 22 mile round trip ride. Quite a bit of shade/lots to look at/prairie dog colony/birds/snake on the trail/lots of parks/golf courses/nice homes/runs mostly along the creek/lots of fun underpasses by the water.

Sheep Draw Trail

Do. It go on a hot sunny day, there is little to no shade whatsoever! Not really a lot to look at either. It would be good for a quick bike ride. Otherwise, it’s just eh.
