Jefferson County Open Space will have an Education Station at North Table Mountain Park (map) this morning from 9-12. Learn more about our local raptors and what you can do to protect them. You will find the naturalist near the kiosk in the main parking lot. Just look for the Education Station sign. Bring your interest, enthusiasm, and willingness to share your experience and knowledge.
The Railroad Museum has a special program today (10-4). Even in the early 1900s, Coloradoans wanted to escape to the mountains, so they took Wildflower Excursions on the Colorado Midland Railway or the Switzerland Trail. Learn more about these early “staycations” and catch a ride behind a steam or diesel locomotive or on the uniquely Colorado Galloping Goose.
