New Santa Fe Regional Trail is a picturesque, mostly unpaved, 16-mile-long pathway that connects shimmering Palmer Lake to the city of Colorado Springs in Central Colorado. Situated along an old abandoned railroad, the trail heads south from Palmer Lake through piñon pine trees and grassy hillsides. Along the pathway, visitors will enjoy magnificent views of the sprawling valley below, as well as Colorado Springs to the South. Visitors will often see people walking or running on the trail for exercise, families with children biking along the pathway for a fun outdoor activity, and plenty of wildlife along the way.
