The much anticipated 4.7-mile section of the East/West Regional Trail from Lone Tree to Parker is nearing completion! With this final leg you will now be able to travel the full 28 miles of the East/West Regional Trail – connecting Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Lone Tree and Parker.
We invite you to celebrate with an inaugural walk, run or ride to celebrate this achievement, nearly 20 years in the making.
Join us July 24 at 9 a.m. near the trail’s intersection with the Rueter-Hess Incline trail at 11865 Heirloom Pkwy in Parker and take advantage of as much or as little of the full 28 miles of East/West Regional Trail as you would like.
