Historic postcard - Bear Creek Canyon
Picturesque Bear Creek Cañon: "Bear Creek is the most noted and popular cañon trip to the west of Denver. It is filled with summer cottages and resorts, but still fine parks have been reserved for the public to camp and picnic along the stream." -- from a historic postcard.

Historic postcard - Bear Creek Natural Gateway Bear Creek Cañon ca. 1933
"A Natural Gateway stands a short distance up Bear Creek Cañon which would dwarf into insignificance the city constructed Gateway below. Here the lofty cañon walls come within a few feet of meeting, barely giving room for the stream and road to pass thru them." -- from a historic postcard.

[The road has since been improved!].
