Hike New Trails

Even in the winter, many of Aurora's trails are accessible, fun, and offer impressive views. Visitors can explore more than 113 miles of trails and 8,000 acres of open space! The PROS Department has recently updated the city's trail maps – making it easier to find your way in the Great Outdoors.
