How will the peaks to plains trail affect access to climbing in Clear Creek?

Really encouraging. 

Would be great if the bike path eased access to some of the crags without damaging any!

I would like to echo Steve and Erika's comments above. Clear Creek Canyon Open Space has been very receptive to our comments about the section around East Colfax.  East of the county line (approximately the junction of Highway 6 and the road to the gambling towns) is the purvey of Jeffco Open Space and we have a very good working relationship with them as well.  Foothills Climbing Community is a relatively new group, under the auspices of the BCC,  that has been monitoring the situation, and is committed to preserving access to climbing in Clear Creek Canyon,  in addition to helping set up the wag bag stations at Canal Zone, Wall of the 90s, Little Eiger and Tiers of Zion.  Please help support us as well!

Good news! One less reason to be hated when riding my bike, I suppose! 

I look forward to being able to ride my bike to a crag a CC!
