Small riverside park on Clear Creek in historic Idaho Springs — shoot flowing water, mountain backdrops, framed bridges and seasonal foliage. Easy street parking on 17th Ave, no fees, wheelchair-accessible paths. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light and reflections; autumn and after snow offer dramatic color and contrast. Weekdays and early mornings minimize tourists; combine with short walk into downtown for miner-era architecture.
