Chris Englert moved to Denver in 2013 and decided to walk all of Denver’s trails and neighborhoods. Walking raised questions for her: why were parks named the way they were, where could she find a good place for kids to play, and what made each park special? She has since become the authority on Denver’s parks and trails. She is also the author of Best Urban Hikes: Denver (Colorado Mountain Club Press, 2020).
