From the starting point at E Orchard Rd TH we'll head north past the Marjorie Perry Nature Preserve, Greenwood Gulch Trail, then underneath Belleview to Quincy Farm, 3 Pond Park and the half way point of the canal. We’ll then head to the Hampden and Colorado Blvd underpasses, enter the City and County of Denver, and end at Mamie D Eisenhower Park. This walk covers segments 12, 13 and 14 in the Highline Canal guidebook, and is about 7.7 miles. We walk at about 2.5 to 3 miles per hour, so even though the hike is easy for distance and elevation, it is not a slow hike. One or more drivers will take the carpool drivers back to their cars after the hike.
