Refuge Connector Trail Now Open!

The trail that connects the Sand Creek Regional Greenway to the visitor’s center at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is now OPEN!  Click here to view a map of the new trail.

The Refuge Connector Trail is the first piece of the proposed “Rocky Mountain Greenway”, an uninterrupted trail and open space network in the Denver metro area. When completed, the Greenway will connect three National Wildlife Refuges, Rocky Mountain National Park, and hundreds of miles of trails and open spaces.

On Monday, February 18, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood joined Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and SCRGP Executive Director Kate Kramer to announce more than $1.7 million for the Rocky Mountain Greenway project, and to cut the ribbon on the new Refuge Connector Trail (see picture above).
