This short paved path features two side loops - one just past the trailhead and one at the trail's terminus. The trail is wheelchair-accessible and is located off of Trail Ridge Rd., just north of Grand Lake. This trail offers all visitors, especially those unable to travel on natural surface trails, an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Kawuneeche Valley and its abundant wildlife.
