Places to run in Colorado...?

Runners Roost recommends Waterton Canyon

To get to the Waterton Canyon trail follow Wadsworth Blvd. south from C-470. Pass the entrance to Chatfield Reservoir and look for the entrance signs for the Waterton Canyon Recreation Area.The trail is the first six miles of the Colorado Trail which goes from here to Durango. The trail follows the South Platte River for it's entire length. The grade is very gentle to the Strontia Springs Reservoir Dam where most people end the ride. There are several picnic tables and bathrooms along the trail. Since the trail follows the river upstream for the ride in, the ride back is mostly downhill.

 Water Canyon is located approximately a 30 minute drive (SW) of downtown Denver.  The run up to Strontia Dam (12.5 miles round trip) is an extremely popular training route for Coloradans!
