El Paso County Parks and Recreation Department/Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates. Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Prime Contractor
This Hybrid project spearheaded and organized by El Paso County Parks and IMBA affiliate club Medicine Wheel continues the Pikes Peak Regions commitment to provide more quality natural surface trail venues for its community. Privately funded through generous grants and donations from several Colorado Springs businesses and patrons, this two-mile loop system was specifically designed by TrailArts as a Cross-Country Skills Course to accommodate short-course Mountain Biking and running events but also integrated the rehabilitation and expansion of recreational trails throughout the park. Trail Arts performed construction of 4400’ of new trail and 2300’ of social trail rehabilitation in just two weeks, and assisted volunteers who initiated construction of almost 6000’ feet of trail by summers end. Volunteer construction on Phase 1 is planned for completion by mid 2008 with organized racing events beginning in June 2008. www.medwheel.org/bcpark.htm
