    This place is wonderful it goes from Ward Road to Indiana Street. Really great paved path for road bikes and little off shoe trails for hiking and walking. Friendly people. Nice and quiet on a weekday evening.

    One of the decks I'm on has this view a nice place to sit and enjoy the sun

    Nice quiet trail area, short loop is about 1.5 miles but be wary, if it's a hot day there is limited shaded spots. Pack sunblock

    Huge area. Craig and Christian had awesome reviews from a biking perspective…read more I mostly walk this with dogs nearest to Ralston Road in Arvada. Some nearby water. Shade. You'll walk adjacent to a number of homes, park, and schools. Frequent trash cans and exits to enter the neighborhoods. Wasn't seeing any trash which is a plus. Just one of the many open space/walking/biking trails you'll see throughout Colorado. Occasionally you'll see some locks signage explaining which part of the trail you are on. Think historic setting and whatnot but otherwise it's a walking, exercise, skating trail like anywhere else within the state. You could have a good time riding the entire trail or adding sections into your regular workout route. Well paved and maintained as I mentioned before regarding trash cans and dog poop bag stations throughout. One reviewer mentioned noise but maybe they have the incorrect Yelp listing? Or their closest part of the trail to close to a loud highway. My only advice is to wear sunscreen. Vitamin C told me that once.

    Enjoyed a solid morning ride of about 18 miles (9 miles out and 9 miles back). The trail actually…read moreruns a few miles further. I started at the Gold Strike Park in Arvada and there was parking as well as a connection to the Clear Creek Trail. This trail is paved and runs through number of parks in Arvada/Wheat Ridge. There is a gentle, almost subtle incline as you ride west. The creek of course is flowing downward in the opposite direction. I had no trouble using the big chain ring on my road bike and the return ride was a snap, with its gentle decline. The trail is mostly well marked and zigs and zags across the river. There is pedestrian traffic and not too many long straight stretches, so your top speed is limited. The trail runs on a few residential streets here and there. If you lose the trail, just keep going in the same direction and you'll pick it up shortly. Overall it's a fun, pleasant ride that I highly recommend. Suitable for families (although I'd start at one of the municipal parks that it intersects for the playground) and also for walking your dog. My total altitude gain over the nine miles up was only 410 feet, according to my Garmin. There are a few porta-potties along the way. A few water fountains too, at the park areas. This trail is perfect for an easy Saturday morning ride!

    After spending half a day at the Denver Convention Center, my colleague and I decided to go on this…read moreCherry Creek Trail to stretch our legs and get some exercise in. The trail is fully paved and runs all the way down, you guessed it, Cherry Creek. Along the way, we saw families of ducks and geese. It was an easy and relaxing walk, flat all the way.

    July 28, 2027 - Denver…read more The Cherry Creek Trail was a nice break from exploring downtown Denver's busy streets and shops. We accessed the trail at Larimer and 14th, walked to Confluence Park, and back for about a 3-mile round trip. The trail is wide, paved, and pleasant to walk. We didn't realize at first that one side is designated for pedestrians and the other for bikes and scooters, so we started on the wrong side. We figured it out quickly, although the access point we used could have been marked more clearly. We visited on a hot day, and this stretch of trail had very little shade. Since the trail sits below street level along the river, there wasn't much of a breeze either. Once we were on the pedestrian side, we felt comfortable walking our dog, although one scooter zipped past us much too fast. We also noticed a few homeless about, but we felt safe during our midday walk. Overall, it's a pleasant urban trail and a great way to enjoy the river while taking a break from the downtown crowds.

    Cherry Creek Trail - July 28, 2026 - The OTHER side of the river is for pedestrians and their pups. We changed sides as soon as we could find an access point.

From…read morestart to finish, everything was organized with incredible precision and ran perfectly on schedule. Alex was knowledgeable, engaging, and provided outstanding information about the area, wildlife, and Rocky Mountain National Park. The ride was smooth and comfortable, making the full-day experience relaxing and enjoyable. The included lunch was delicious, with the only minor exception being one soggy tuna sandwich, which was likely just an unavoidable issue from the sandwich shop rather than anything related to the tour itself. One of the highlights was seeing so much wildlife, including a moose, which was an unforgettable experience! If you're visiting Colorado and want to experience the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park without the stress of planning or driving, I highly recommend this full-day tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

My goal was to see a moose and I saw a mama moose with 2 babies. The picnic lunch provided was delish. It started to rain in Estes Park and Will went looking for us to give us umbrellas. Now that is what I call service! This tour was worth every penny! I can't wait to do another trip with Will.
