Description
This is technically an extension of the Sand Creek Regional Greenway, but deserves its own designation as well. While the surrounding area is currently under construction, once completed, it will be a wonderful route with a cottonwood riparian zone to the east and an open prairie grassland to the west. Even with the construction, the wildlife is plentiful and the views are delightful.
