Join Blaine,J an, Victoria, Jose and Terry for this wonderful, accessible walk along the High Line Canal Segment 5 from Fly'n B Park.
Description: If mobility-challenged, as you turn into the parking lot, turn left instead of turning right. There is a circle-drive drop-off and couple handicap spaces along with a few more spaces up the short hill by the old homestead (build in 1906 was once an illegal gambling house). We’ll meet at the large group picnic shelter by the small pond
next to the homestead and then go up a very short incline to the fine gravel trail along the canal. We’ll have foothill and mountain views from the cottonwood-lined trail and pass through the Wind Crest retirement village before we have the canal on one side and the University of Denver Golf Club at Highlands Ranch on the other. This will be
an out-and-back outing. This area does not have good options for much of a loop trail for wheelchairs other than the nice access to the pond and fishing deck. The canal is above the pond. The hill is very short but a bit steep. I’m glad to help.
Entrance fees: None
Distance: 1-3 miles depending on the group’s input -- out-and-back along the canal
Elevation gain: Negligible once on the canal trail
Dogs allowed: Yes, if well-behaved and on leash
