The 23-mile Rock Island Regional Trail runs parallel to Highway 24 between Falcon and Ramah and is part of the America the Beautiful Trail. Nine miles of the trail was constructed on the former Chicago an Rock Island Railroad Line between Falcon and Peyton. Excellent views of several landmarks are visible from the trail including Pikes Peak, Rampart Range, Rattlesnake Buttes at Homestead Ranch Regional Park, Spanish Peaks, West Mountains, and the Sange de Cristo mountain range. Opportunities for wildlife observation are abundant. Picnic tables are located at the Falcon Trailhead, and benches are polaced at regular intervals along the trail corridor.
