In 2003, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, with the support of the citizens of Colorado, many communities, and stakeholders, initiated the Colorado Front Range Trail project (CFRT).
The vision of this trail is to
create a multi-purpose trail from Wyoming to New Mexico, along the Front Range of Colorado. The 876-mile trail will link diverse communities, scenic landscapes, cultural and historic points, parks, open space and other attractions.
The CFRT is a unique legacy that will enrich Colorado’s tourism and recreation resources, as well as our heritage and health.
When complete, the trail will connect 15 cities, 14 counties and many smaller towns and communities along its length. To date, over 270 miles of the CFRT have been finished – one-third of the corridor.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is working to continue the collaborative efforts that are necessary to complete the vision for the CFRT with the help of over 500 stakeholders including:
- Local communities
- State and federal agencies
- Non-profit organizations
- Recreation retailers
- The tourism community
The Priority Segments spreadsheet (.xls file; right click and choose save link as... to download) contains information about each segment of the CFRT.

Colorado Front Range Trail Web Map
The Colorado Front Range Trail web map provides information on existing and envisioned trail alignments throughout the State. No guarantees are implied as to the accuracy or completeness of the data. Trail alignment is made using the best information available to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Please contact the jurisdiction in which the trail passes for additional information on the Colorado Front Range Trail within the area of interest.
To use the Web Map:
The web map shows trails identified within the Colorado Front Range Trail system. Existing trails are in red, trails in development are in green, and envisioned trails are in blue. Please note that envisioned trails reflect general ideas of trail pathways, and is in no way an indication of concrete trail planning. A legend can be found in the second tab from the left.
Users can search by location or for specific trail names in the search bar in the upper left corner. Users can also use the bookmarks tab to quickly navigate to major cities along the Front Range. Trails can be filtered by status using the filter tab.
