Episode Details

Colorado’s trail ambitions are moving at a dizzying pace in some counties—while others, like Colorado Springs, lag behind. Projects like Lost Canyon Ranch and the newly opened Clear Creek Trail boast stunning views and rapid progress, thanks to dedicated funding and political will. Douglas County and Castle Rock lead with special taxes, while Jefferson County’s high sales tax for open space has fueled decades of development. Meanwhile, Colorado Springs’ long-promised parks—including Fishers Canyon and Coleman Community Park—remain unbuilt, their futures stalled by chronic underfunding. The disparity is stark: where investment flows, trails flourish; where it doesn’t, communities wait. The state’s broader trail vision is gaining momentum, but without consistent funding, many neighborhoods will continue to miss out on the green spaces they deserve.
