Popular Colorado recreation area closed for two weeks for dust mitigation
Waterton Canyon, near Littleton, will be closed on the weekdays between May 8 and May 19 while dust mitigation operations are performed, according to a news release from Denver Water.
During this time, visitors will not have access to the canyon or the parking lot.
“Waterton Canyon is an extremely popular recreation destination, and we recognize that the two-week, weekday closure is an inconvenience,” said Brandon Ransom, manager of recreation for Denver Water in the release.
“By taking the time to reduce the dust early in the season, we’ll be able to provide a better experience for hikers, bikers, and runners throughout the rest of the summer.”
According to officials, Denver Water conducts regular maintenance work like this to give a better experience to guests.
