trails and general ease of getting around Many communities both larger and smaller than Bozeman offer wonderful bike paths or trails A few examples in the Rockies are Sun Valley Jackson Hole and Coeur d Alene these all have wonderful paved bike trails Most recently I was pleasantly surprised to find a very long bike route between Pacific Grove California and Santa Cruz These trails don tjust happen and must be initiated before the growth occurs so smart planning can take place Land owners don talways realize just how important trails are 6 26 2007 201 Page 20f2 initially but over time it
