Twelve thousand years ago, mammoths lumbered through Boulder’s cool deciduous forests. As glaciers melted, the climate dried up and the ancient forests vanished . . . except for a few rare hidden pockets. Travel back with naturalist Dave Sutherland to a botanical time capsule, one of the last remnants of the Ice Age forest in Colorado, where natural marvels await. (Added bonus: we may see some interesting deep forest birds) Due to sensitivity of the habitat, space is limited to 15.

Where to meet: Meet at the parking lot at Realization Point on Flagstaff Road, located 3.4 miles up Flagstaff Road at the junction of Flagstaff Summit Road. A parking fee is required for vehicles not registered in Boulder County - directions, parking info and more here.
