Cherry Creek Hike/Bike Path — Attraction in Denver

I love the Cherry Creek trail. I use it everyday to commute to work and other locations around Denver. There are large stretches of the trail which make me feel at one ways nature and help me clear my head and relax for whatever comes next. That being said, there are still large portions of the trail which are completely covered with homeless people, litter, And pollution. This is extremely disheartening as a resident of Denver who lives within the city. I know that many people commute here, And a lot of the garbage Left by displaced individuals who simply put, cannot afford to carry it to the next trash can. But it breaks my heart more to see that Not a lot of other Denverits are willing to do something about it. Just the other day as I was riding through the trail and noticed there was a large section of it that was completely foaming up as the water was melting. I was also able to notice that it was only one of the grades that was spitting out all this soapy water. If anyone else noticed this or if I know this this again, we should definitely let parks and rec know so that they can try and put a filter on it or something. This is a vein of nature's beauty running through the corrupted heart of our city, is one of the few things breathing life into the nature that you see around you. If you've moved to Colorado you presumably find our wildlife beautiful and should be able to understand and appreciate the importance of trails like this. Not just as a way for the poor to get to their jobs without clogging up your streets, but as a final part of our grounding and culture...

The Cherry Creek trail is great for a very easy hike in multiple spots across Denver. Among the areas I've walked have included in downtown Denver and also in the Glendale area. Some little rapids at certain spots, nice to sit by and listen to the rushing water. Unfortunately there's a lot of trash along the creek as well, especially along the river banks that are across from the trail side, so that's a definite downfall. STOP...

Incredible path between Speer into downtown area via Confluence Park. Connects with the Platte River Trail. Runs all the way to Cherry Creek reservoir in the other direction. Parts of the trail are shared, others are split into bike or pedestrian only. The trail does come to street level...
