Join Summit Naturalist Hike's Mark Rubash as we explore plants, pollinators, and other aspects of our unique mountain ecosystems!

This 3 hour hike at Mesa Cortina Trail will explore the plant world of both an aspen and spruce / fir forest and those of the high mountain meadows. We will learn how these plants reproduce, and especially the relationship between animal pollinators and the plants they pollinate.
