From the starting point near the intersection of the Highline Canal and Cherry Creek we'll walk around the Cherry Creek Country Club, past South Quebec Way TH (portolets), under S Parker Road, and into Fairmount Cemetery. Exiting the cemetery, we walk past Windsor Gardens Retirement community to Expo Park and the end of our walk. This walk covers segments 17 and 18 in the Highline Canal guidebook, and is about 6.1 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.
We’ll meet at 8:50 at Expo Park, 10955 E Exposition Ave, Aurora, CO 80012 for 9am departure. Hopefully we can use their restrooms. We are meeting at the end point of the hike and will carpool to the starting point at 9250 Cherry Creek S Dr, Denver CO 80231.
