In the wake of our updated list featuring Denver's most walkable neighborhoods, we recently posted about the ten least walkable cities in Colorado according to the online resource Walkscore.com.
Now, we flip to the other side of the coin.
Continue to check out the site's picks for the ten most walkable Colorado communities, all of which are in the Denver-Boulder metro area. Accompanying them are Walkscore graphics and data.
Note that some of them are designated as car-dependent or only somewhat walkable — meaning that walks there can be long ones. But we hear that walking is good for us.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
