I have written before about how wonderful it is to have the High Line Canal so close by to my home in Highlands Ranch.

I often ride my bike on the canal trail and we take family trips on the trail as well. And from time to time I visit the trail from starting points other than my norm.    Last Sunday, Father's Day, was one of those times and we took the camera along as well. 

We rode from the trail entry at The Highlands Ranch Golf Club to Writer's Vista Park - not an extraordinary long trip by any means, but this was a bit of a leisurely ride on a hot afternoon.  We stopped to enjoy the view, look at flowers, rabbits, and even bugs (hey - that's kids for you.) and there was even some tree climbing involved.  And of course there was plenty of water breaks as well.

The High Line Canal runs from Waterton Canyon through areas of Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and into Denver, Aurora and up north into Commerce City.

There are many neighborhoods and homes along the canal trail throughout the Denver area - and many other trails as well.

If you would like to live along the Highline Canal, you can start searching right now.
