Five years after the flood that devastated the Big Thompson Canyon, Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park will reopen to the public with a more natural feel and added resilience. The popular haven in the Big Thompson Canyon is expected to open this fall when most of the reconstruction and rehabilitation is complete — a multi-phase project that cost nearly $5 million total. It will feature two pedestrian bridges over the river, which is now on the south end of the property instead of through the middle, as well as a trail that loops around and connects the entire property. New picnic shade structures dot the property, which is planted with native grasses and trees, and three historic buildings remain.
