Iowa City Metro Trails

Well I'm a little confused as to which trail this actually was.  I think we did part of the Auburn Hills trail.  I (Kathryn) did one part of this the other night with Katie and then the other direction tonight with Austin.  The part with Katie was nice and took us into North Liberty.  We connected to the trail just from the house which was kind of scary because we were on some busy streets.  The trail itself was nice.  It was a little too open for me but it was fairly flat with some small hills.  The portion I did with Austin had a lot of hills, maybe they just seemed worse after doing those crazy ones yesterday, my legs need a break.  We ran into a lot of bugs so that was annoying but other than that I really liked it.  We took it from the house down towards IC and ended at the water treatment plant.

As far as I can tell from the trail we took we could have connected onto a lot of different trails in the area.  We rode right by the Coralville Damn and over a bridge on the Iowa River.  The trail was mostly just a wide sidewalk but it was big enough to ride two across and enjoy it.  Overall it was a nice trail to take on an easy ride and just hang out.
