Take this 15 mile loop around the Greenbelt Plateau Area, a grassland management area with wide open grasslands and ponderosa pine savannas. The various trails of the area, including the Coalton Trail, Meadowlark Trail, Mayhoffer-Singletree Trail, Marshall Mesa Trail, High Plains Trail and Greenbelt Plateau Trails, round up to a 15 loop around this expansive preservation area. Much of this area is private agricultural land, so it is important for trail users to stick on the designated trails. Most of this trail is comprised of dirt/stone trails that wrap outside the outside of this expanse.
Situated within the Great Plains habitat, the Greenbelt Plateau Area Trails are home to a variety of plants and wildlife including prairie dogs, deer mice, coyotes, raccoons, red foxes, and many species of birds and insects. Many of these species can be see while on a venture around these trails.
