    Running

    Waterton Canyon Trail follows a dirt and gravel service road up a wide canyon following the South Platte River. This is actually the same path as the most northern miles of the Colorado Trail. The route turns to singletrack after passing the Strontia Springs Dam at the end of the service road. This is a really popular spot for both trail runners and road runners to train on some soft surfaces.
