The High Line Canal and Sand Creek Greenway Loop offers a unique urban jogging experience, covering 12.9 miles (20.7 km) with a gentle 161 feet (49 metres) of elevation gain.

Don’t miss the chance to see a SpaceX rocket booster up close. It’s mounted just above the Mary Carter Greenway in Littleton, inside a fenced lot by DISH Network. You can’t go inside, but the view from the bike path is more than enough for a quick, geeky photo stop. The site is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.

Cottonwood Creek runs out of Cherry Creek Reservoir and continues south. You cross the creek on several occasions on bridges while following the bike path.

This is the closest most people will ever get to a rocket booster. It is located right next to the bike path. It is in a fenced area with locked gate. I don't know what the opening hours are. Maybe someone else can post those hours to this highlight when they visit it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_first-stage_boosters#Booster_1021

From here, you can catch some nice views of the mountain "skyline" in the distance. There's also lots of pedaling both ahead and behind you: The High Line Canal Trail is more than 70 miles long.
