Still Room To Play This Summer
|
With the initial deadline for need-based registrations fully accommodated, the city's Adventure Bound summer camp program has additional room and is now accepting online registrations. In order to maintain consistent groups, camps are being offered on a weekly basis only, Monday through Thursday, for Routt County residents only. Space is limited and spots will be offered on a first come, first served basis.

With nearly 400,000 different plants known to science, determining what might be an exotic and rare perennial versus a weed takes not only a green thumb, but years of experience and training. Recently, isolated instances have taken place at the Yampa River Botanic Park where plants have been pulled, and in some cases, sprayed with a herbicide. Please take only pictures when visiting and leave the weeding to the pros.

Tubing Etiquette & Safety
|
With spring snow melt slowing, water levels in the Yampa River have dropped below 700 cfs, making it safe to begin tubing. In order to have a fun and enjoyable day on the river, we ask that tubers follow a few simple rules that will help keep everyone safe, while also protecting the health of our river ecosystem. Remember, the safest and most reliable way to tube the Yampa River is to use one of our amazing local outfitters!

Step back in time with a tour of the historic Mesa Schoolhouse and experience student and teacher life at the turn-of-the-century in this beautiful one-room schoolhouse. Join the historians from the Tread of Pioneers Museum to learn about historic toys and recess games, Routt County school history, and more! The next tour will take place tomorrow, July 1 from 1 PM to 3 PM and is FREE fun for the entire family.
