Hiking – Eagle's Nest Open Space
This is a FAMILY hike intended for families with children or grandchildren age 10+. Explore a quiet corner of the North Fork of the Cache La Poudre River on this loop hike, with "breathtaking views of the Laramie Foothills." Bring binoculars, because we may have a chance to view the golden eagles after whom this open space is named. Round trip distance is about 5.2 miles with 850 ft elevation gain. We will set a pace that accommodates all trip participants.
