Top of the Rockies
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities

The terrain along this byway varies from rolling ranch land to precipitous mountain passes. Bicyclists and pedestrians share the road with cars. The creation of pedestrian and bike pathways separate from the road is not likely to happen because of topography and right-of-way limitations. However, there are wide shoulders along some stretches of the road, especially around Leadville and the Twin Lakes area.

There are no bike trails or other non-vehicular transportation infrastructure that extend over the length of the corridor although there are bike/foot trails that parallel the highway in close proximity to the City of Aspen. Due to several narrow sections of the road, bike and pedestrian traffic do not generally use Highway 82 as a travel corridor, although the corridor has been used for large state bike tours.
