Why we picked this
Rocky Mountain Arsenal's grasslands and lakes draw raptors and waterfowl that get more active as the light drops — a different slice of the refuge than the typical morning visit.
Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge covers thousands of acres of restored prairie and wetlands just northeast of Denver, and this free evening walk times the visit for when raptors and waterfowl become more active as daylight fades. A Denver Audubon guide leads the walk and helps point out what’s moving across the grasslands and open water.
The refuge’s auto-tour roads and trails are easy walking, and the group moves at a relaxed pace suited to birders of any experience level.
Free to attend, with a $5 suggested donation. The walk runs 4 to 6:30 PM at the refuge in Commerce City.
