Urban Prairie
Miles 63-66

Start: High Line Canal and E. 28th Avenue, Aurora
End: Green Valley Ranch East Park, 4455 Jebel Street, Denver

This route was completed in 2024 as the City of Aurora closed what had been the largest trail gap remaining on the Canal. The highlight of the route is the I-70 overpass, which was funded with a federal grant matched by contributions from Adams County and the City of Aurora. Stop to learn more about the Derby Lateral, one of the Canal’s historic offshoots that delivered water to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.
