Waterton Canyon is scheduled to be closed on Thursday, Nov. 2, for maintenance.
Denver Water crews will be making improvements to a water distribution pipe in the canyon, so the parking lot and the canyon itself will be inaccessible, according to a news release.
“As a working facility, there are times when operations and maintenance projects create unsafe conditions for the public, prompting us to close trail access,” said Brandon Ransom, manager of recreation at Denver Water. “In this case, the project requires the use of a helicopter to bring in the appropriate equipment, and it is in everyone’s best interest that we close trail access for the day.”
The canyon is set to reopen the next day.
Hikers and bikers on the Colorado Trail will also need to seek alternative access points on Thursday, Nov. 2.
