The lightning-sparked Goltra fire burning on 205 acres in Clear Creek Canyon near Golden is 100% contained, Jefferson County officials announced Thursday.
U.S. 6 through Clear Creek Canyon will reopen around 5 p.m. after crews wrap up final fire operations, the sheriff’s office said in a post on X.
The fire did not threaten any structures or cause any evacuations, burning across steep, rocky terrain near the first tunnel in the canyon.
