Cheyenne Audubon invites the public, birders of every level and non-birders, for a free birdwatching hike at Curt Gowdy State Park on Saturday, August 15.  This is a great trip for kids too!

The group leave from the parking lot at Lions Park between the Children’s Village and the picnic shelter at 7:30 a.m., driving about 25 miles west, meeting up at the park’s visitor center about 8 a.m. and returning to Cheyenne about noon.

Which trail to hike will be determined at the visitor center, probably under 2 miles. Birds likely to be seen include bald or golden eagles, green-tailed towhee, Townsend’s solitaire, and various species of hummingbirds. Bring water, snacks and sunscreen. Prepare for hiking along gravel and dirt trails.

Carpooling is encouraged. Anyone driving themselves can return at any time. Please sign up by calling or texting Grant Frost, 307-343-2024, so you will get any updates.
