Highlands Ranch - Littleton Colorado Walks

Perhaps the finest views of the Front Range and of Denver’s skyline along the High Line can be seen in this area, where the canal makes a large lazy loop to the east after it crosses Santa Fe Drive. A private ranch located adjacent to the Highlands Ranch Golf Club provides unobstructed views to the west and north. Look for golden eagles on the branches of the tall cottonwoods. Native prairie plants along this stretch include blue grama, tall fescue, and western wheat grass. Highlands Ranch draws water from the canal through a headgate in this area.
