Grant Ranch Multi-Use Path

Grant Ranch Multi-Use Path is a short, low-elevation ride in Colorado, about 1.3 miles long and rising just 21 feet from start to finish. The route sits at roughly 5,570 feet, with the high point at 5,584 feet and the low at 5,546 feet, so it's a nearly flat path that makes an easy addition to a day spent exploring the area around Leawood, about 1.4 miles away. The path is a multi-use trail, and the climb is gentle. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.44 miles in, with a grade of about 2 percent. The total loss of 52 feet suggests the route is roughly downhill from the high point, so riders can expect a mostly level ride with a slight drop at the end. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 86°F. Wagon Creek Trail is about a mile away for hikers, and Lilley Gulch Trail and Kipling Trail are both within 2 miles for more mountain biking. For an overnight stay, Flying Saucer RV Park is about 4 miles off.
