Where: Coyote Ridge, meet in the parking lot When: Thursday, February 15, 9:00a.m. - 11:00a.m. Program Description: Dog February Frenzy. It’s reproductive season on our black tailed prairie dog colony. In mid-February, prairie dog behavior changes; friendly family members can become aggressive with each other and exhibit a wide range of new behaviors. We will discuss this once a year event as we hike through a colony. The hike continues up a moderate slope toe the cabin 1.1 miles from the trailhead. There we will rest, discuss prairie dogs and enjoy the beauty of nature. There is a restroom near the cabin. On our return hike to the trailhead we will again observe our prairie dogs, talk and take photos. Accessibility: Program includes walking out and back, roughly 2 miles on a wide, flat, dirt road with one big hill each way. No shade. Restroom not at trailhead, but 1 mile down the trail.
