Ever since I read of the Intemann Trail last spring I have been wanting to complete the entire stretch of that trail between Manitou Springs and Cheyenne Canyon. The journey began last August when I used the part of the trail to get from Red Rock Canyon to downtown Manitou in order to pick up … Continue reading Small Accomplishment
