Review:
Bear Creek Canyon, also known as the Bear Creek Canyon Scenic Mountain Drive, is only half an hour out of Downtown Denver, so it's one of the closest and most convenient mountain day trips you can do from the Colorado state capital. Part of the city's park system, this scenic mountain drive is perfect for wildlife spotting and admiring the amazing scenery of the state. You can make stops along the way to take photos or go on little hikes as well.
