Eagle to Glenwood Canyon CO

Wow! What a thrill walking through Glenwood Canyon. This has to be one of the best places to hike/bike next to a major highway. Actually you're not always next to the highway. Sometimes you're on the left. Sometimes on the right. And… sometimes directly under.

You're also next to the Colorado River and below and looking up at the canyon walls with all kinds of shapes and colors. Occassionally a train goes by on the other side of the river. The canyon walls are so imposing you feel it's priviledge to be there.

If you're in Colorado, it's worth the trip. There are several places you can pull off the highway and take short hikes on the paved path. Or you can rent bikes and even get a ride to the east end so you're going downhill most of the way.

This was probably my favorite walk so far.
