Back by popular demand! Satisfy your need to get outdoors and find early season wildflowers on this guided wildflower walk and talk!

Participants will move between sites by car with short spurts of flower-finding after meeting at a centrally-located place to carpool (carpooling is recommended and we can help facilitate this effort).
The sites are located in Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area (elevation 4800’ to 8000’) where we’ll find the oft-overlooked and colorful pallid milkweed, Aztec milkvetch, Fender’s cliffrose, and Indian breadfruit, to name a few species. These species bloom for short periods of time and are habitat-specific. Each year brings a different perspective to the landscape depending on winter precipitation. Bring cameras and nature journals to satisfy your creative outlets.
Different elevations and habitats provide opportunities to view a wide variety of Colorado’s native plants and wildflowers. Register for one guided experience or all! Maximum of 12 participants.
Ridgway writer Mary Menz and Montrose photographer Jim Pisarowicz will share their extensive plant knowledge and excitement for the area with you. Registration includes a copy of their book Common Wildflowers of the San Juan Mountains (second printing 2022) and surprize items, too! More information will be provided a few days prior to the event.
