Filoha Afternoon Walk - September 30

Join Roaring Fork Conservancy and Pitkin County Open Space & Trails for a rare, autumn, afternoon walk to enjoy the unique and beautiful Filoha Meadows before its seasonal closure. Thermal hot springs, bighorn sheep, important elk habitat, a local bat population, healthy riparian habitat, and beaver ponds are only a few of Filoha’s distinctive attributes.  Bring binoculars (or a spotting scope) and a camera as we enjoy fall at Filoha.

Please note: We access Filoha Meadows from a different location than previous years (prior to 2020), and this includes a longer hike of about 2-miles roundtrip.

Please keep in mind:

• This program is appropriate for those 12 years and older. Minors must be accompanied by a parent.

• Please dress appropriately as the program will happen rain or shine.  

• Please wear hiking shoes with ankle support as there will be quite a bit of walking, including uneven and rocky terrain, and in areas of undesignated trails. 

• Hiking poles are encouraged for extra support as needed, but not required.

• There are no restrooms, please plan accordingly.

• Please bring water and snack, as needed. 

COST: This FREE program is brought to you by Pitkin County Open Space & Trails.

You will receive a detailed email about where to meet, how to dress, etc. two days before the program date.

Registration opens September 3, 2026.
