I don't have a bike but I love to hike. I am a 67 year young lady retired with lots of time and energy. I've cometed the Great Western Trail from Eaton to Severance. Since I don't have any one to pick me up, I hike twice as far. I've also completed the north half of South Platte trail and all the trails in Westminster. Thank you for showing this trail. I can't wait!
Thanks. There's tons of nice areas to go. Ironically, I'm biking in a couple hours down the Platte to Chatfield State park for the night and then coming back. Later I'll make a video of other cool areas around Denver.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed. I'll make a few more videos in next couple months about other bike routes like Colorado trail etc. Last weekend I did the Greenland open spaces to the Santa Fe trail which is in between Denver and Colorado Springs. I went all the way on the dirt path and later paved to Garden of the Gods. That's the best route I've found so far. I think I'll post that video next week. Cheers.
That's such a great ride until you get near the Platte river in downtown, then it stinks, literally like human feces due to our homeless problem and by all means do not go into the river! Denver has so many great trail systems to get you all over from here to Boulder, to Golden, to Thornton and everywhere in between, just watch yourself around downtown and for the ladies, don't ride alone at night.
Yes, that's sad but true. Its also really bad when you head east on the Platte along the RiNo area. I was there last evening and tons of homeless over there so I'd be careful in that area too.
@Ramblingroads haven't tried that way in years. The last time was over a decade ago at night and the homeless was a bit of an issue for a stretch. Would like to check it out again, but not to play dodge person. Taking that stretch out East to Golden is a nice ride, especially when you get close to Coors. The downhill back is a blast!
@@seano218 I hear ya. Not really worth riding through the homeless land. I haven't done that stretch to Golden yet. That climb would be a bit of a bitch but I'm sure worth it coming back. I'll have to do it sometime.
@Ramblingroads do it at night though is my recommendation. Going over the bridge really gets you the most. Not gonna lie, I have walked it a couple of times! Lol!

Nice, have a great trip. The Santa Fe bike and green land open spaces on the way to Colorado springs is nice too.
I'm exploring my routes around Denver, love the video.

Super helpful video for learning about this trail. Thanks!

fast motion unpleasant to view
Well, I could have made a 5 hour video but figured i'd speed it up a bit in some areas to make it not so long.
