About this adventure
A canyon trail along the South Platte River on Denver Water land. It is a 6.2-mile hike or bike ride up to Strontia Springs Dam (road bikes are suitable for that stretch), with a handicapped-accessible fishing pier a mile and a quarter up the canyon. Bighorn sheep and mule deer are often seen, and the canyon hosts more than 40 species of birds. Foot, bicycle and horseback access only. Dogs and other pets are not allowed, to protect the bighorn sheep, and swimming and wading are prohibited.
