Colorado the Beautiful State Trail Project Includes Staunton State Park!

From Staunton State Park - Colorado Parks & Wildlife : "Governor Hickenlooper has announced the highest priority trail projects as part of the "16 in 2016" trail initiative, and a trail connecting Staunton State Park to neighboring communities has been selected! The North Elk Creek Trail that would connect Staunton State Park's trail system to the Cub Creek Trail and Mt Evans Wilderness could be completed as early as this year!"


The North Elk Creek Trail would connect Staunton State Park's trail system to the Cub Creek Trail and Mt. Evan's Wilderness in the Pike National Forest. The natural surface, single-track trail would serve the mountain foothill communities of Aspen Park, Conifer, and Evergreen and would be an integral link to the Town of Bailey's planned trail system. An environmental impact assessment has been completed, and with adequate funding, the project could be completed in 2016.
