Confirmed from Broncos Parkway Trailhead at Cherry Creek's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Broncos Parkway Trailhead at Cherry Creek
Great access point to the Cherry Creek Trail. Tons of fun going either north or south from the parking lot. Both directions have tons of trails to explore.
Great place to park your car to begin a wonderful walk through nature. As part of the Centennial/Jordan/Parker Open Space, this trailhead sits about halfway from each end of open space. I used to enjoy walking on the dirt paths. They lead off the paved trail into the trees.
Nice trail for all seasons. The trail is not fully paved. There are multiple connecting trails to make your hike longer or shorter. There are a lot of deer that can be spotted along the trail, bald eagles during certain seasons and an occasional coyote as well. Lot of places to sit and rest along the trail.
Great place for a walk. Good trail system with lots of connecting paths and rest stops for viewing and sitting. It can be busy at times, but usually, there is plenty of space for any sized group.
