Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area

Today, Noelle, Mom, Sierra and I took a trip down to Fort Collins for a little adventure. Our first stop was the paved trail at Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area. We parked the car and hit the trail. Almost immediately, Noelle caught a glimpse of a coyote in the tall grass about 100 yards off the trail.

We walked the entire length of the trail to an enclosed observatory. 

From here we could see a prairie dog town and its inhabitants scampering around. Then, we started our trip back to the car, with wonderful views of the mountains off to the west, including the iconic Horsetooth Peak.




After our hike, we ate a very delicious lunch at Young's Cafe. Then we walked around Old Town for a bit, before finishing our day with a beer at Salt Road Brewery. It was a nice way to spend a warm spring day in Fort Collins.
