July 06, 2012 - Waterton Canyon will reopen Saturday, July 7. The canyon was closed today for the U.S. Forest Service to work the Mill Gulch Fire, a small 3-acre fire in Douglas County.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, lightning sparked the fire around 4 p.m. Thursday, on a ridge approximately 4.5 miles from the bottom of the canyon. The U.S. Forest Service has contained the fire, and expects to complete its work tonight.
