Mountain Park Environmental Center

Pueblo Mountain Park in Beulah is a great place to enjoy the beautiful season of summer, and a
guided hike is one great way to experience the summer season! It is best to dress for varying
weather, wear a sunhat and sunscreen, and wear good hiking shoes. Also bring along a water bottle
and snacks on these moderately strenuous hikes that are educational and fun. Unless otherwise
stated, most hikes last from two to three hours and are appropriate for adults and children over 12.
Group size usually limited to 15; members free, non-members $5.

Registration required: (719) 485-4444.

Sat, Aug 14, 8:30am, Mason Gulch Burn Site Hike It’s just over five years since the fire
that began with a lightning strike in a rugged area known as Mason Gulch burned over 11,000 acres
of forestland north of Beulah. This hike will give you an up-close and personal look at what’s been
happening on a small portion of the burn area these last few years. It’s not a long hike, but we’ll start
with a steep half-mile hike uphill to the site.

Sun, Aug 22, 6:30pm, Full Moon Hike MPEC’s last summer full moon hike of 2010 on a
lovely late August evening – a perfect way to spend a Sunday evening, awaiting the rise of the Full
Corn Moon.

Sun, Sept 12, 9am, Nature Literature Hike Experiencing the wonders of Nature and
listening to the inspired words of authors who write about Nature – a perfect combination for a hike.
We’ll have several Nature literature excerpts ready to inspire you, but bring along a favorite of yours
if you’d like as we enjoy a late summer morning out on the trails of Pueblo Mountain Park.
