Aurora’s Piney Creek Trail provides a pleasant route across town with few street crossings. The paved pathway begins at the Ponderosa Preserve and heads northwest, winding through residential neighborhoods. Along the way, the trail passes the Saddle Rock Golf Course, Red-Tailed Hawk Park, which has a wetland boardwalk and sheltered picnic tables, and Larkspur Park, which offers a playground and horseshoe pits.
The trail ends at Cherry Creek State Park, which offers numerous recreational amenities, including camping and a marina. For more adventure, travelers can continue on the 40-mile Cherry Creek Regional Trail, which heads up to downtown Denver.
From south to north, parking is available in:
• Red-Tailed Hawk Park (23701 E. Hinsdale Way)
• Larkspur Park (22551 E Plymouth Cir.)
• Cherry Creek State Park (4201 S. Parker Rd.)
I had the opportunity to take this trail from mid-section to end at Cherry Creek State Park. I enjoyed it so much. The trail takes you through parks and follows streams and creeks. You get a diverse view of Colorado landscape including breathtaking views of the mountains on a clear day.
