Codes R*Fnxd Track #
Surfaces About 85% packed dirt/gravel/sand, some asphalt, concrete & highway milage along Santa Fe & Titan Rd
Notes Speed limit on trail is 20 MPH, trail really snakes around.
Highline Canal Trail was split into 3 sections to allow for common GPS limitations
Sad that after all there years, there is no official trail connection from the trail along highway 85 to trail in park and other Chatfield trails.
  Trail comes to within about 40 yards of Chatfield trails twice, but no official connection. Am told they are still negotiating……
