Celebrate Colorado Public Lands Day with a Wildflower Walk in Sand Canyon!
Join us on Saturday, May 17th for a special guided wildflower walk through the stunning landscape of Sand Canyon. As we explore this high desert canyon, we’ll take our time identifying native plants and learning about the diverse flora that thrive in this unique ecosystem. This is a perfect event for plant lovers, nature nerds, and anyone curious about the wild beauty of the Four Corners.
Come with your questions, your curiosity, and a sense of wonder!
