The Crawford Montessori Learn to Bike trail is the The Crawford Montessori Learn to Bike trail is the newest addition to our growing trail network at local schools. Built for first-time riders- this trail is a perfect place to teach a kid to learn to bike. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Start at the newly paved parking lot. Ride the paved pathway and practice braking before jumping onto the singletrack. We recommend heading east (downhill) from the parking lot first. This trail will soon be extended to connect with the Young's Peak road and take you up "C-Hill." ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Donate to The Nature Connection's trail crew to support this and other connecting trails in our community.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ https://trails.colorado.gov/map/@38.706161,-107.603703,16.31z/details#activity=bike
