Parking:
Rest Area is right on trail, I-70 exit
19. The sidewalk to the east becomes the trail.
Also park at the Loco Coyote Travel
Center, exit 19. Or the truckstops (Pilot, Loves, Acorn) exit 26
Access:
Easy access from the Rest Area, and
Loco Coyote. The frontage road sidewalk turns into the bike path.
From The Pilot and the Loves, you have to deal with the railroad
corridor. We like to cut through the bushes behind the Pilot, cross
the tracks, turn left on the road, and follow the road around to the
right after it goes under the interstate. You can also access the
trail by going down Business 70, and turning right at Railroad Blvd
from the truckstops.
