Wildflower Hike with Karen Vail

June 12 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
$35
Join us on this flower-filled tour, only offered twice each summer! Led by lifetime local and master botanist Karen Vail, these tours are perfect for someone looking for a half-day adventure jam-packed with botanical learning. Due to Karen’s long history in the Routt, these tours set out in search of flowers that can be found nowhere else in the forest, or sometimes, the state.

Where to Meet: We will meet at the Yampatika/USFS Office at 925 Weiss Drive at 8am to carpool/caravan to the trail.

What to Expect: This hike will cover ~4 miles over difficult terrain. Please call for more info.

What to Wear/Bring: Dress for the weather (current and future) and dress in layers! Many people like to wear long pants/sleeves to protect themselves from the sun, dirt, and things that might make them itchy (mosquitos, etc.). Avoid cotton when you’re able and go with a synthetic material or wool. Also remember to wear sturdy hiking shoes, good socks, a cool sun hat, and sunscreen! Be sure to pack 2 water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, extra layers, and your waterproof jacket- weather changes quickly, so make sure to prepare for cooler/wet weather. Please bring along any medications you may need, including epi-pens.

This program has a 4-person minimum to run and will be canceled, with refunds, if we do not receive at least 4 registrations. If you have additional questions or need more information, please email hailey@yampatika.org or call the office at (970) 871-9151.
