The Legacy of the High Line Canal in Littleton, CO

The High Line Canal, a historic gem in Littleton, Colorado, was originally built in the late 1800s to irrigate the dry lands of the Denver region. Carving its way through the city, this 71-mile canal became more than just a source of water; it evolved into a beloved recreational space for hikers, bikers, and nature lovers. Over the decades, it connected communities, offering scenic beauty, wildlife, and a peaceful escape from city life. Today, the canal’s legacy is one of transformation—from a vital irrigation channel to a cherished urban oasis, a lifeline of history and nature intertwined. 

Hidden in this geocache, you’ll discover not just a treasure, but a connection to the story of water, wilderness, and the generations of Coloradans who’ve walked this path. Take a moment to appreciate this legacy and add your part to the journey!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kroozer for FTF!!!!!!!
