Being stuck in Colorado for the last nine months due to COVID has encouraged me to explore different areas of Denver and the surrounding metroplex. I’ve already ridden the entire High Line Canal Trail both ways and have found some interesting parks and open spaces. Now I’ve decided to spend more time on the Platte River Trail.
In the past, I have actually ridden the Platte Trail from Sand Creek north to 120th, from Sand Creek south to Confluence Park, and from Confluence Park south to Chatfield Reservoir. As a result, I have covered all of the trail in the surrounding metroplex. That said, I’ve never paid close attention to the parks and attractions along the way..
Today, I changed that as I strolled along the Platte River Trail with my dog Annie. We began at Vanderbilt Park and headed north to Frog Hollow Park for a 5.2 mile roundtrip.
GO FOR A WALK!
