The DOT is a walking route that makes a full circle around Denver. Segment 10 starts on Big Dry Creek trail and then goes through Bluffs Regional Park. There is a short but steep climb to the top of the bluffs. We will then wind our way along the top of the bluff before descending down into the valley of 1-25. At the end we will walk about a mile from the end of the segment to the parking lot. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/denver-orbital-trail-segment-10-bluffs-regional-park-577bcc9?u=i&sh=bhqvqk
