Location: In Torrington at Grassroots Trail Park.

States: Wyoming

Before it was a walking path, Grassroots Trail was a 13-block open irrigation canal running through the heart of the city's residential center. Dating back to 1883, when the majority of the area was farmland, the open ditch eventually became a problem for 20th Century City residents.

In 1974, the Grassroots Trail featured a five-foot-wide concrete walking path, grass in all mini-parks, plenty of foot traffic, and playground equipment, which was installed by the Wyoming National Guard.

In 2016 the City of Torrington purchased a lot at 2525 West C St. to act as the path's trailhead. The Grassroots Trail is also known as "The Beautiful Cover-Up."
