High Line Canal Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A ride on the Highline Canal trail is always a good one. This trail is a great one for anyone just looking to get out and get some exercise. It has moderate elevation changes and some nice views of the Rocky Mountain foothills and mountains to the west. The trail continues on for many miles either to the south or north where I usually ride. The Denver area has over 68 miles of trails all great for hiking, biking and walking.

This section of the 71-mile trail (around mile 30) runs by Greenwood Village, part of the Denver metro area, and features tree-lined stretches through neighborhoods and parks, and views of the Rocky Mountains and the High Line Canal. The well-maintained trail is popular year-round for recreation.
