What the source said
Join MRS Director Scott Taylor and MRS Graduate Research Assistant Will Anderson for a guided walk at INSTAAR's Mountain Research Station (MRS). We'll be keeping an eye out for the less-frequently observed fall changes in the mountains. Many people associate fall in the mountains with changing aspens and the associated leaf peepers, but there are many other fascinating changes occurring throughout the natural world. Mammals like snowshoe hare and ermine are changing their coat color from the summery brown to a wintery white. Some resident bird species, like mountain and black-capped chickadees or Clark's nutcracker are busy caching 80,00-100,000 seeds to survive the coming summer. The walk starts at 10:00 am and will last for about 2 hours. We only have space for 20 people. Sign up is required to reserve your spot. Additional details will be emailed to attendees one week prior to the walk. <<Click here to sign up>> --------------------------- General Info The Mountain Research Station is located approximately 26 miles west of Boulder, Colorado, off the Peak to Peak Highway (highway 72), about 7 miles north of Nederland and 5 miles south of Ward. The drive from Boulder takes about 45 minutes. At an elevation of 9,500 ft (2900 m), the weather can be very variable and change rapidly. Be prepared for sun, cold, rain, snow, and wind.
