About the Trail
Winifred Lynch Trail begins at Route 66, crosses under Highway 89 in a dedicated bicycle and pedestrian tunnel, follows the south side of Lynch Avenue and Kaspar Drive, then crosses and continues north as an unpaved trail through an open space tract in the Mt. Elden Foothills neighborhood. Future plans show the trail continuing north to the Forces of Nature Trail in the Coconino National Forest.
