Pikes Peak Region Trail Finder

Summit County's great system of bike and rec paths is about to get even better.

The U.S. Forest Service has OK'd a proposal to extend a recpath to Copper Mountain's Far East Lot.

Trail construction could begin in summer.

The trail extension is designed to improve safety to runners, cyclists, skaters and others on the east side of Highway 91 near the Interstate 70 interchange, where the path currently is lacking.

Read all about the path and see a map of the area at the Summit Daily News website.
