This route was mentioned by Redfin Reality as a "Hidden gem outdoor activity in Denver".
Waterton Canyon makes for a gorgeous ride along a river.
Very smooth, wide and well maintained dirt road.
Not very many people on a weekday night.
BIGHORN SHEEP and deer sightings!!
We actually didn’t know much about the behavior of bighorn sheep and felt a little nervous passing them. (They are bigger than you think!)
Do this ride if you want a quick and easy but super enjoyable and beautiful ride with the chance to possibly see some Colorado wildlife.
This area is popular, so weekday riding would be more ideal.
Parking is free and easy at the Waterton Canyon Trailhead Parking Lot (and there are public restrooms there too).
