Description

This is a very fun, fast, and nearly flat connecting trail that follows an old ditch alignment. Use it to connect the Glenwood Springs Community Center via Wulfsohn Trail - South TH to Red Mountain Road.

Please note that public access to this ditch trail, while not disputed by private land owners & long used by the community, has not been formally resolved. Please stay on the trail and respect surrounding private property so that we can continue to enjoy this trail!
