• Waterton Canyon — A winding dirt road along the South Platte River, with bighorn sheep and eagles both realistic sightings depending on the day. Options range from a short in-and-out for a picnic to the full 12.4-mile round trip to Strontia Springs Dam, and the canyon accommodates hiking, biking, and fishing all on the same route — the bighorn sheep here are reliable enough that a dedicated wildlife telephoto trip is worth planning around this canyon specifically.
