Goes to Greeley now
By aaron1444 in September, 2011
On my last trip to Greeley I walked a section of this trail. It is now very lengthy and beautiful! I had ridden some of the sections in Fort Collins about a decade ago and found this trail to be a very nice ride.

Great family outing. Flat, wide paved trail along the river, but close to town. Lots of scenery.
