Weminuche Audubon is pleased to sponsor these popular walks with local herbalist, Lake McCullough.  Join us for a fun and educational ramble through the forest, as we discover edible and medicinal native plants. The walks are free of charge!  Call Lake at 264-0884 or stop by her great shop, Earthsense Herbals at 144 Pagosa St., to reserve a spot.

In order to handle increased popularity and demand for information about our beautiful local ecosystems, we will be conducting two back-to-back plant walks at each location. The first tour will begin at 9:30 and run until 11:15. The second tour will begin at 11:30 and go until 1:15. There is a 12-person maximum on each walk. Please call ahead to schedule and indicate which time slot you choose. Walks are about 1.5 miles roundtrip. Please be prepared for rugged trails and unpredictable weather, and leave dogs at home.

Lush Wildflowers of Wolf Creek Road

First Tour: 9:30 to 11:15

Second Tour: 11:30 to 1:15

Peak wildflower season on the Continental Divide! Meet at FS Road 725 (Wolf Creek Road). FS Road 725 is about 22 miles east of town on Highway 160, on Wolf Creek Pass. Go ¾ mile past mile marker 164, on the right-hand side of the highway. It is the first right after Falls Creek Road (FS Rd. 39), and is marked with a small brown Forest Service sign reading “Junction Rd. 725.” The road slopes sharply down to the right, after the turnoff. We will meet at the pull-out at the base of the road, and walk from there.
