This cycling trail is a great option for anyone who wants to get outside without straying too far from the city limits. It travels for 28.5-miles from the Englewood and Henderson neighborhoods of Denver where you will get to see fascinating sights like the Elaine T. Valente Open Space, the Mary Carter Greenway, and Chatfield State Park. The majority of the trail parallels the Platte River, so there are plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It is a leisurely ride even for inexperienced cyclists or families, as there are bicycle traffic circles and smoothly-paved asphalt surfaces the entire route.
