Why we picked this
Confluence zones where two waterways meet tend to concentrate bird activity — this walk hits Clear Creek's junction with the South Platte right around sunset, when things get active before roosting.
This free evening walk follows Clear Creek Trail from I-270 down to its confluence with the South Platte River, timed to run through sunset. Confluence points where two waterways meet tend to concentrate bird activity, and the walk covers this transition as light fades and birds settle in to roost.
Expect a longer walk — nearly three hours — covering a mix of urban and semi-natural habitat along the trail. A headlamp or flashlight is worth bringing for the walk back as it gets dark.
Free and open to all skill levels. The walk runs 5:15 to 8 PM.
