Route of the Hiawatha Bike Trail

Route of the Hiawatha Bike Trail

New Santa Fe Regional Trail

A fairly short drive from Denver brings you to the town of Palmer Lake. Palmer Lake was named after General William Jackson Palmer. General Palmer was one of those men who seemed to accomplish more in one year than most people do in a lifetime. His early interest in railroading led him to a long …
