Hiking

Pikes Peak Greenway Trail. The Pikes Peak Greenway offers 16 miles of multisurface hiking and biking trails running from Palmer Lake to the town of Fountain. On the north end, the trail connects with the Santa Fe Trail, which runs from Palmer Lake to the beautifully forested grounds of the U.S. Air Force Academy. For a scenic tour of the city, start at America the Beautiful Park in the heart of downtown and ride north to the Air Force Academy on 10 miles of open trail. You can also take the route west from the park for a 6-mile ride into Manitou Springs. 126 Cimino Dr., Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80903. 719/385–5940; www.trailsandopenspaces.org/trails/pikes-peak-greenwaysanta-fefountain-creekfront-range-trail.
