I love Waterton Canyon, about 25 minutes from my home. It is bordered on the east by beautiful 5,000 acre Chatfield State Park and Reservoir, and on all other sides by the national forest.

The South Platte River comes roaring down, and there is a wonderful service road where folks hike and bike and jog 7 miles to where it turns into the narrow and rugged Colorado Trail, hiking 470 miles to Durango.

So, here are 3 posts with pics for you viewing pleaseure. All pics taken with the 2" x 2" ' 1/2" Sipix Digital camera today.
