  Mariana Butte (701 Clubhouse Dr)  |  Registration Required

Guided Walk: Nature, Birding, History - Mixed Ages

Join the 8th annual #OptOutside Mariana Butte Hill Climb on Black Friday. Open Lands & Trails staff and volunteers will lead a guided hike along the trails at Mariana Butte Natural Area with the option to summit the Butte. Groups of 8-10 will take off with a naturalist leader as they arrive. The summit area is small so we will try to space out groups to allow each one an opportunity to go to the top if desired. Please arrive no later than 9:45 AM. The event ends at 11:00 AM but feel free to come hike the trail any other time as your schedule allows. The natural area is open 7 days a week, from sunrise to sunset. Park in the lower lot of Mariana Butte Golf Course Clubhouse and check in at the Open Lands & Trails table, which will also have information about other natural areas and Loveland trails. Bring water, wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes, and dress in layers for the weather. Binoculars and cameras are welcome. Note: The last part of the summit climb is steep and has rocky terrain - think of it as two flights of stairs with rocks. Because there isn't much room at the top, there may be a wait to summit depending on how many people we entice into the outdoors on Black Friday. Weather dependent. Registered participants will be notified if the program is canceled, so please pre-register. Free and open to all ages. Let's opt for outside!

Registration is required for this activity. Click "register" to reserve your spot. You will receive a reminder and updates about this program.
