The 3.8 Templeton trail goes around the mesa and gives a variety of views and landscapes. The trail is rugged in places and gives a good daily workout.

For a city park, Palmer Park provides a surprisingly "wild" get away. Miles and miles of trails are great for hiking, dog-walking or mountain biking, and the views of Pikes Peak are stellar. More

Haha...so we are nothing like New York City...but when I was in New York and we walked into Central Park it felt like a forest and someplace that was not in the city.
