Hiking – Corral Bluffs Open Space
Rescheduling last week's cancelled hike and giving priority to the previously signed up hikers. ROCKY MOUNTAIN OVER THE HILL GANG members only. If you enjoyed the guest speaker at last year’s annual meeting, you might enjoy this hike. This will be a guided hike with a naturalist pointing out the highlights of the area. “This area is regionally significant because its extensive natural outcrops are the best exposures of Late Cretaceous and Early Paleocene strata in the Denver Basin. It likely represents one of the top 20 sites in the world for the preservation of the first 1 million years of the age of mammals”.
