COLORADO GRASSLANDS CHALLENGE 

Tallgrass Colors - A Walk with Dave Sutherland - Workshop

Colors aren’t just for trees. The grasses of the tallgrass prairie turn lovely shades of tan, fawn, russet, wine, and maroon. Fall wildflowers add to the blaze of glory.

Explore the botanical fireworks in a rare stand of tallgrass prairie with OSMP naturalist Dave Sutherland. Bring a camera for pictures to add to your nature scrapbook. Distance is approx. 1.5 miles.
