When the prettiest part of a two mile hike, sometimes four miles, depending on how far I go, it a bushel of wheat grass, I don’t tend to write about it. But since I’ve walked most of the perimeter trail at Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge and posted it on my blog, I figured I’d mention its west side too.
TAKE A WALK
Today I took another walk on the Platte River Trail. I’ve been slowly working my way south a few miles at a time. I started where I left off last time at Grant-Frontier Park, although I parked on the other side of the river.
From the parking area, I followed the trail south. Along the Overland Pond to Grant Frontier segment, I enjoyed the parks so much that I was hoping for more of the same. This section, however, did not feature any parks on my 4.5 out and back walk.

Aside from the cold weather, I took a lovely walk along the Platte River Trail today. As part of my Platte River Trail series, today I wanted to walk from Vanderbilt Park south to Grant-Frontier Park. From the last time I was at Vanderbilt Park, however, I knew a portion of the trail was closed, but I did not know for how far. As a result, I parked farther south at Overland Pond Park and hoped to walk as far north as possible toward Vanderbilt Park and then turn south toward Grant-Frontier Park, essentially starting in the middle of the two.

In my quest to walk the Platte River Trail from the North of Denver south to potentially Chatfield Reservoir, I set on my next five mile out-and-back journey. My previous walk to me north to Confluence Park from Frog Hollow. This time I decided to walk south to Confluence Park from Globeville Park.
TAKE A WALK
Through Instagram and my blog, I have started to meet some local people with whom I have common interests, such as hiking and walking. Recently, I was honored to meet Chris Englert with Denver By Foot. She has written books about many of the metro trails I have been walking of late. We met at Carpio Sanguinette Park, looped around Heron Pond, and walked part of the Platte River Trail to the Burlington Ditch.
