Hiking – Cherry Creek Trail

Meet at the Goodson Rec center parking lot, on the South side of the building.  Address is 6315 S University Blvd, Centennial CO 80121, at 9:30am for 9:40am departure.  OR if you are coming from the North/West, leader will help arrange a carpool from that side of town. The goal is to have no more than 3 cars meet on the west side of the parking lot at 550 Grant St Denver, CO 80203 at 10:30 am for 10:45 hike start time. 

Have you zoomed along the Cherry Creek Trail on your bike, trying to avoid walkers, joggers and other bikers wishing you had time to look more closely at the murals??  Well, here’s your chance.  We’ll be hiking the last 2.5 miles of the Cherry Creek trail from Grant St. to Confluence Park, enjoy time on the patio at REI, and walk back the way we came.

We’ll walk at an exercise pace of 3 mph between murals, and slow down at the murals. This 8’ wide paved trail is used by many bikers, runners and scooter commuters.  We’ll walk single file on the right side of the trail. This is an urban hike and you can expect all the sights sounds and smells of downtown. 

It is important to park no more than 3 cars in the lot we are using on Grant St.  Leader can help organize carpool for those wanting to drive into downtown from the north to meet us at Grant St. Optional but recommended to patronize either the bagel shop or the Yogurtland shop before or after the hike to thank them for using their lot for free parking.  

Please advise the leader via email or text of any medical or physical condition that could affect you on this trip prior to day of hike.

An email will be sent to participants the day before the hike with weather forecast, mileage, etc.
