Movement · Downtown
Monument Valley Park path
Flat, shaded creekside walking and running along the Pikes Peak Greenway near downtown — the least complicated way to get 30 to 60 minutes of easy movement.
Flat and mostly paved, it is the local default for people who want steady movement without elevation, technical footing or a drive.
The greenway connects north and south, so you can turn a short walk into a longer one simply by not turning around.
It is busiest at lunchtime and early evening. If you want quiet, early morning on a weekday is a different park entirely.
