It is a popular commuter trail and is frequented by tourists during peak travel seasons, showcasing regional landmarks such as the Colorado Convention Center, Larimer Square, the Kennedy Golf Course, and the Denver Country Club.

It also provides access to Cherry Creek State Park and a number of other recreational trails within the Denver area, including the Colorado Front Range Trail.
