Getting your player ready...
The weather may seem to be getting nicer with each passing day, but those wanting to enjoy the sun and blue skies in Waterton Canyon will have to sit it out for the first full week of June.
Waterton Canyon will be closed to the public from June 5-9 for Denver Water’s annual dust mitigation project. Neither the parking lot at the canyon’s entrance nor the canyon itself will be accessible during this time.
The popular Douglas County hiking and biking area will reopen at 7 a.m. on June 10.
“By taking the time to reduce the dust early in the season, however, we’ll provide a better experience for hikers, bikers and runners throughout the rest of the summer,” said Brandon Ransom, manager of recreation for Denver Water.
