Earlier this month, we posted about the ten most walkable Denver neighborhoods according to Walkscore.com.

Now we're going from micro to macro by looking at cities across the entire state — many of which aren't very walkable at all.

Below, see the ten Colorado cities with the site's lowest walking scores, many of them on the Front Range.

As an example of how pedestrian-unfriendly they are, Walkscore doesn't give any of them a score for either transit or biking.

If you live there, sure hope you have access to a car, or know someone else who does.

Continue to count down the bottom ten Colorado cities in terms of walkability, featuring Walkscore graphics and data.
