Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh city profile confirms a 12-foot-wide improved bicycle trail, trailhead parking and the Eagle Nest start. The April 2020 city southwest map distinguishes the main purple trail from orange bike lanes; newer southern extensions are described on the current profile but are not needed for this selected return.
