I've often wondered about the history behind "The Historic Buchtel Boulevard Trail," named after a former Chancellor of the University of Denver and a former Governor of Colorado. I would guess that the trail was used by early yuppies, back in the 1970s, making their way to Washington Park to get their run in. Hard to believe, but this was a time when there were no I-Pods and absolutely no bottled water. People would often just collapse from dehydration on the path, lying face down in the dirt. And with no music, either! They would only be revived when other yuppies would come across them on the path, and get them back on their feet. Then they would get themselves together and continue on their way, determined to get their run in. We were a much heartier people back then.
