Transitions: Plains to Canyon I

Contributed by: Jo Castillo on 8/22/2008

What:	How was Castlewood Canyon formed? How did water, flowing on the mainly flat eastern plains, begin to carve the canyon we now know? Join Volunteer Naturalist Ben Parker as we hike the East Canyon Trail. We'll examine the topography and geology of the "Lollipop Loop" and follow the Southern part of the East Canyon Trail as it transitions from prairie to canyon. We'll explore how accidents of geology influence where water flows. This hike is almost entirely along the East Canyon Preservation Trail. Bring a lunch or trail snacks and water. Meet at the Visitor Center. Please reserve your place for this hike by calling 303-688-5242. Adults only, please. No Pets. Limit 12.
