July 28, 2025, Waterton Canyon Recreation Area – Colorado Trail Trailhead

The "Waterton Canyon Recreation Area" trailhead sign here marks the Colorado Trail's Northern Terminus. It's a photo opportunity for thru-hikers continuing all the way south to Durango, a journey that stretches almost 500 miles.

This parking lot at the top of the dam has picnic tables and trash cans, but the biggest attraction is the view. From here you have a 360-degree view of the mountains, Downtown Denver, Castle Rock, and often a hot air balloon. If you are looking to add some speed into your ride, the Groove Subaru Team ride starts here every Saturday at 8:30am sharp. Pace is unusually 25-30mph and takes around 1.5hrs .

Cottonwood Creek runs out of Cherry Creek Reservoir and continues south. You cross the creek on several occasions on bridges while following the bike path.

September 26, 2024, East/West Regional Trail

This is a relatively gentle multi-use trail; you could probably get by with a gravel bike, but it's definitely not made for skinny tires. Altogether the trail is about 27 miles one-way, and there are easily a half-dozen trail connectors to help you shape the perfect ride.
