Print Friendly MapThe 47-mile Greater Cheyenne Greenway touches nearly every part of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Portions of the trail go through downtown, while other sections wind through suburban neighborhoods.
Highlights along the route include the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens and Lions Park, Airport access and Holliday Park. At Holliday Park, one of 25 behemoth steam engines is displayed and preserved. 'Big Boy' steam engines were the biggest in the world when they were built for Union Pacific in the 40's. Cheyenne's own Big Boy was retired in 1958 and relocated to the park in 1963.
In the south of Cheyenne, the Allison Draw Greenway is included as part of the Greater Cheyenne Greenway and is managed by Laramie County.
The Greater Cheyenne Greenway runs throughout many different parts of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

It's in the name: it's a link. It does indeed link. Doesn't go above and beyond, but it gets the job done, linking the Allison Draw Greenway with the Sun Valley/East Cheyenne Greenway. Goes through two intersections and the most forgotten "park" in town; it's not much for scenery.
It kinda goes all over and nowhere in particular at the same time. The middle section from Parsely to Walterscheid has some public exercise equipment which is nice if you're into that sort of thing, and seems to be used a lot by the folks in that area. The greenway also technically incorporates a pedestrian overpass over I-80, which is useful. But other than that, like a lot of Cheyenne greenways, it feels haphazard and half-done. It doesn't lead much of anywhere, much of it feels like a glorified sidewalk, and it doesn't connect well into a unified greenway system.
There’s a garden and train to see, a lake with fishing and playground here. So far it’s my favorite trail in Cheyenne (moved here a few months ago).
Cheyenne has recently expanded their trail network so that now you can ride 11 miles uninterrupted from I-25 near Western Hills Blvd to Holliday Park near downtown. This connects the Dry Creek and East Cheyenne greenways, and adds the new Sun Valley greenway in the south. We parked at Cahill Park off Dell Range Blvd and headed west on the Dry Creek trail all the way to the end at I-25. The trail is concrete with some moderate ups and downs, running between the airport and the back of businesses on Dell Range. After returning to Cahill, we went east on the Dry Creek, on the new Taft Rd connector, on the East Cheyenne greenway, on the new Sun Valley greenway which runs along the railroad, and ends at Logan Ave. There also is a short connector that takes you to Holliday Park. These are all connected now to form the Cheyenne Greenways with signs along the way. They are also concrete with some moderate hills. A nice few hours in Cheyenne. See my pics with sights and tips along the way.
