Hiking – Corral Bluffs Open Space
This is a guided hike by Corral Bluff Open Space. This amazing fossiliferous site holds the secrets to how the globe recovered from a major catastrophe, the die-off of the dinosaurs and the first million years of mammals. With expansive vistas, a multitude of wildlife, native flora, and geology like no other in Colorado - it’s worth a visit! However, because it is undeveloped and subject to important scientific research, it’s only available via guided tours.
