Trip
Hiking – South Platte Park
We will hike on the paved Mary Carter Greenway from Reynolds Landing to the park’s 470 TH. The Greenway loosely follows the course of the South Platte River. This will be an out and back hike. On our way back, we will have a lunch break at the Carson Nature Center where we can also visit the center’s exhibits on area wildlife and the history of flooding in the area.
