As promised some time ago... Photos from my most recent state parks trip. Castlewood Canyon and Roxborough State Parks
First stop was at Castlewood Canyon. Castlewood Canyon is a small canyon on the high plains carved out by Cherry Creek. It was dammed from 1890 to 1933 when the dam burst sending a 15 foot wall of water into downtown Denver.
A couple photos from the canyon rim.
Looking upstream to the Cherry Creek bridge:

And, downstream farther into the canyon:

A nice slow corner of the creek, perfect for wading and cooling off a bit:
