Left Hand Creek (Colorado)

Flowing through a steep gorge to the East, passing below Ward (which sits roughly at the head of the canyon).

Lower Left Hand canyon is a popular destination for road biking, hiking, whitewater kayaking and rock climbing.

Mitigation and recovery efforts in the town of Jamestown and for all Left Hand canyon residents is ongoing in 2017.

The whitewater kayakers first descended the Class V mini-gorge by entering through a small culvert passing under Left Hand Canyon Drive and beginning a tight and snaking boulder garden entrance through a cascade along the road.

The mini gorge is below the roadway of Left Hand Canyon and is frequently choked with woody debris.
