[Run] High Line Canal Trail

The High Line Canal Trail covers 71 miles from Aurora to Waterton Canyon in the Denver Metro Area in Colorado. It is the longest trail in the US and a favorite to all who explore it!

The trail is divided into 27 segments with many trailheads and access for all throughout. I ran segments 7 and ½ of 8 on a hot, sunny morning in May. The nice part of this section is that it is primarily shaded by the trees that line it.
