Eagle County is home to a variety of ecosystems including arid shrublands, pinyon juniper woodlands, lush wetlands, coniferous forests, and rocky alpine peaks, and ranges in elevation from 6,000’ to over 14,000’! This series of hikes will travel around Eagle County to learn about our diverse ecosystems and the things that live there. We hope to share a deeper appreciation for the natural world around us and share ways you can get involved in community science efforts.
