Family Filoha Meadows Evening Exploration - July 21

Join Roaring Fork Conservancy and Pitkin County Open Space & Trails for an adventure at Filoha Meadows. Located near Redstone on Highway 133, Filoha Meadows Nature Preserve contains a natural thermal wetland, providing unique habitat for rare orchids, fireflies, and many other plant and animal species.

We’ll explore areas typically closed to the public to learn more about the history of this remarkable property. We'll also learn about the incredible species that call it home through games and fun activities.

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 families with children of all ages and their parents.
• 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, snack, warm layers, and a headlamp, as we'll be walking back to our cars in the dark.

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 3 weeks before program date.
