Camino de Waterton Canyon - easy flat walk just like what we expect on our walk in Portugal. A walk in the park especially for those who did 3K ft gain on the South Boulder Creek past Sunday.
This route takes you along a gravel road that follows the South Platte River. You'll pass several picnic areas along the way, ending at the Bighorn Picnic Area. There are many opportunities to spot wildlife on the surrounding cliffs, especially big horn sheep herd. Dogs are not allowed in this area in order to protect the bighorn sheep herds.
