South Canyon Trail

Organization LoVa Trails
State CO
Year 2005
Type Bike Path

Colorado's Lower Valley (LoVa) Trails Group received a $10,000 grant to use toward construction of the South Canyon Trail. This extension of the Colorado River Trail allows bicyclists to continue west past Glenwood Springs without riding on dangerous Interstate 70. The path, which also received a significant grant from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), will link to an extensive system of multi-use paths to the east, in Eagle and Summit Counties, and will ultimately stretch more than 50 miles to the west, enabling cyclists to take multi-day rides across the state.
