Heaven.

It was a moment I wanted to remember: The trail was like a lesson on perspective in art class, heading perfectly straight to its vanishing point. The air was rich with forest smells. Not for the first time, I thought of what a gift these old railroad routes have become, and what a great way they are to travel through the woods.

For my money, the Heartland is the best, but I also admire the more challenging Paul Bunyan. What’s the best bike trail in the state?
