Hiking – Corral Bluffs Open Space
Hike through time with naturalist guided hike in Coral Bluff open space. Corral Bluffs is important because the rocks tell the story of dinosaurs, the extinction of 75% of species on Earth and its subsequent recovery leading to the origin of our modern world. The rocks of Corral Bluffs were deposited as the Rocky Mountains were uplifting and simultaneously eroding, rivers and flood waters carrying off the debris.
