Dr. Justin Pollack is a naturopathic doctor who has practiced at the Mountain-River Naturopathic Clinic for over 20 years, and has been giving donation-based medicinal plant tours of the high country each summer since 2003. He is also a professor of biological science and health/wellness at Colorado Mountain College. Join us for an informative tour of the Rainbow Lake trail wetland and forest ecosystems to understand some of the uses traditional herbalists and native people have had for local plants, trees and shrubs.

We'll be hiking through the Rainbow Lake trail system. To avoid busy Saturday parking, we will be parking and meeting at the Summit County Church of Christ at the end of 7th Ave (location here).
