Rapid City bike/hike trail, August 2, 2018

 For those of you with young children Founders Park has an 882' Strider Trail. The goal of getting your child a Strider at 18 months is to teach them balance and hopefully aid the transition to a regular bike without needing "training" wheels. This flat "mountain bike" style route allows your child to practice turns and experience dirt in a very safe environment.

 This is our final unexplored section of the nearly 14 mile long paved path from east Rapid to west Rapid. With our above average rainfall Rapid Creek is flowing at levels not normally experienced. We had fun watching kayaks on the creek a week ago.

 Another age rated playground along the path.

 I often take pictures from various points on the hillside in this picture. You get amazing views of Rapid City and there are more than 20 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails in that location.

 If you time your walk properly you can get lunch at Founders Park. We stopped and shared a fish taco lunch at Nosh. Their food is exceptional and if you travel to RC during the summer months be sure to check them out in the parking lot at Founders Park during lunch.
