Pikes Peak Greenway, Multi-use recreational trail in Colorado Springs, United States.
The Pikes Peak Greenway is a multi-surface trail that stretches 15 miles along Monument and Fountain Creeks through Colorado Springs. The path connects different parks and outdoor spaces throughout the city while offering views of the surrounding mountains.
Development of this path began in the 1980s as a vision to connect waterside spaces across the city. A major turning point came in 1997 when significant funding arrived, giving the project regional importance.
The path brings together walkers, runners, and cyclists from across the city and hosts regular community gatherings throughout the year. It connects several sports facilities and youth centers that serve as important gathering spots for local recreation.
Several entry points and parking areas are spread along the entire trail, with the Edmundson Trailhead being the most commonly used starting point on the north side. Visitors will find waymarking throughout and different surfaces as they move between sections.
The trail features a mix of asphalt, concrete, crushed stone, and dirt paths that creates variety as you move through different sections. These different surfaces allow various users to choose the segment that works best for their particular activity.
