The map I was looking at is called "Pikes Peak Atlas" by Robert Ormes
and Robert Houdek, and Im pretty sure that I got it up at Grand West
Outfitters. It is a detailed map(one large page) that has a lot of
trail descriptions around the outside. You might also check at the
visitor center at the park since the parking area for the lower end of
the trail is actually in Cheyenne canyon with a metal sign saying "Multi
Use Trail".

That sounds like lower gold camp road. People were signing petitions at
the trailhead when I was there in 94-96 to try and keep it as a
foot/bicycle path only. I guess that attempt failed. The multi use
trailhead is on the lower road leaving from that parking lot.

Just goes to blow you. Yesterday I took a 200 mile, clear my head ride. (all
pavement) In a Taco Bell parking lot a guy on a Harley dresser pulled up
next to me. Since he passed Kurt S's profile test (he was wearing a helmet),
I graciously allowed him to talk to me. Seems he was a long time Bemmer guy.
The repairs and maintenance on his last Bavarian, a K1100 were breaking him
(mostly electronic stuff like ABS trouble but also super-complicated valve
adjustments). Two years ago he gave up and traded the BMW for something
reliable, a big Harley. Since then he's ridden trouble free. What IS the
world coming to? Bogdan

Don, I believe I've ridden part of that trail; it was a handful. Bogdan
