Description

The best part about the Aqueduct is that everyone will have a great time, regardless of ability level. It's not often that you'll find trails that are suitable for beginners but still loads of fun for experts. This 12.6 mile route covers the entire trail system in one go.

History & Background

The Aqueduct is named for the historic right-of-way that transports water from the High La Platas via Jackson Lake to Mesa Verde.
