The Spring Creek Trail extends through a new underpass of Taft Hill Road.

This highly popular trail continues to Spring Canyon Community Park and the Pineridge Natural Area.

The flash flood transformed this tiny creek into a torrent, killing five people and causing an estimated $200 million worth of damage to public and private property, making this event the city's worst natural disaster.

Colorado State University received $1.2 million in aid from FEMA to pay for repairs to damaged buildings.
