Best Biking Trail
Considering it's in Colorado, this trail possesses a rare, prized quality: It's more or less flat. In places, it's also wide, and even paved. In fact, a large section south of America the Beautiful Park just got a fresh layer of concrete. Known in parts of the Springs as the Pikes Peak Greenway, the New Santa Fe Regional Trail mostly follows Fountain and Monument creeks and spans from Palmer Lake to just outside the town of Fountain. (Sections of it are also called the Fountain Creek Regional Trail.) Kurt Schroeder, manager of the city's parks maintenance, open space and trails, says of this one, "There aren't any significant grades, and it goes through some beautiful areas of town." — J.
