Join Leadville local and wildflower expert, Robin Dunn & the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association (GARNA) for a fun, educational wildflower identification hike on Saturday July 17 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. that explores the alpine meadows above the east side of Leadville. While we enjoy a slow meander above tree line, we will hear white-crowned sparrows, Lincoln sparrows, and probably ruby-crowned kinglets as we learn some of the flowers’ folk names including Columbine, Subalpine Larkspur, Lupines, Elephant head Lousewort and so much more.

Participants will meet at 9 a.m. at the Presbyterian Church in Leadville and carpool from there. Each hiker should bring appropriate hiking gear, a raincoat, lunch, water, and sunscreen.

Each of these hikes is $5 for GARNA members and $10 for non-members. Visit garna.org/calendar/wildflower-hike for more information and to register. Space is limited. Contact Programs Coordinator, Kelsey Kirkwood at programs@garna.org or call 719-539-5106.
