ACTIVITIES
HIKING
Chart your course over an 8-foot wide boardwalk. It closely follows the bank of a rocky mountain trout stream. Explore wetland tundra. Turning toward a 12,300 foot mountain peak, the boardwalk begins a gentle climb through lush forests. Abundant wildflowers offer a rich tapestry of brilliant color. Blue spruce, lodgepole and bristlecone pine tress flank the mile long path that scales slowly upward along the northern slope. Following the contour of the land, the boardwalk curves over a deep gulch. Huge moss covered rock outcroppings offer a melody of color. A light wind sets aspen leaves into motion. Here, on the edge of the Continental Divide of North America, one can hear the rhythm of wilderness. For this concert, no one is left out of the theater.

FISHING
An 8-foot wide boardwalk closely follows the bank of a meandering trout stream. Small rock dams amplify the sound of falling water. Lively brook trout can be seen darting from shallow pools to underwater caverns. Upstream, a
stocked with rainbow trout offers excitement for all anglers. Here, disabled and senior citizens alike are included for fishing fun!

PLAN A PICNIC
Pull some friends together and put the city behind you! Picnic tables blend discreetly into the environment. It's pristine territory, but it has been made accessible for everyone.

CAMPING
Pitch your tent on a deck elevated to the height of the seat of a wheelchair. Not a campground, but a natural environment made completely accessible. Please pack out what you pack in.
