Signs officially marking the path of the Stage and Rail Trail, a planned 70-mile cycling trail that closely follows the rail line of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad between Salida and Leadville, were recently erected along CR 371, a big step in a very gradual process to create a long-distance cycling trail in Chaffee and Lake counties.
âWeâre celebrating the end of about a 15-year-process of trying to develop an ambitious regional trail,â said Alan Robinson, the trailâs volunteer project advisor. âItâs a combination of driving on county roads and on state highways and trails through the towns where we can do it, and pieces of the Colorado Midland Railroad and the old Cañon City to Leadville stage road.â
