Bike Your Park Day on the Stage & Rail
The Stage and Rail Historic Route, an initiative of the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association, is teaming up with Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area to celebrate Bike Your Park Day on September 26 and October 4 with a guided bike ride on two sections of the Stage and Rail Historic Route. Mountain or Gravel Bikes are recommended. Both routes are E-Bike-friendly. (No dogs please.)
On September 26, the route will be an out and back and leave from the Buena Vista Heritage Museum and travel CR 371 through the Midland Tunnels along the Arkansas River. Participants will meet at the Heritage Museum and ride the 10 miles along County Road 371 to Rapid #4 stopping along the way to discuss various points of interest. The ride should take approximately 2 hours – participants can also turn back early if needed.
On October 4, the route will highlight some of the newest dedicated section in Lake County, traveling from Ice Palace Park in Leadville to the Hayden Meadows Recreation Area utilizing bike paths, county roads and forest service roads. The route is 17 miles, and has some elevation gain and rated intermediate. A shuttle will be provided by the Cloud City Wheelers for the return trip from Hayden Meadows to Ice Palace Park.
