Plant Walk – Medicinal Plants of the Subalpine Forest

August 13, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

Join Lake McCullough for a fun and educational ramble through the forest, as we discover edible and medicinal native plants. The walks are free of charge! Offered in partnership with Audubon Rockies and the Weminuche Audubon Society.

In order to handle increased popularity and demand for information about our 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 15-person maximum on each walk. Walks are about 1.5 miles roundtrip. Please be prepared for rugged trails and unpredictable weather, and leave dogs at home.

First Tour: 9:30 to 11:15

Second Tour: 11:30 to 1:15

Late summer roots and herbs in the high country! Meet at the Falls Creek Road pullout along Highway 160. To get to Falls Creek Road, (Forest Service Road 39) take Highway 160 east of town for 19 miles, going up Wolf Creek Pass. Look on the right for a small brown Forest Service sign reading Junction RD 39. Parking is in a wide lot at the top of the road.

Call Lake at 970-398-0923 or see her at Earthsense Herbals at 114 Pagosa St. to sign up.  These popular walks book up fast.
