The hike at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument takes you through a grassy mountain valley in Colorado, where you can see petrified redwood stumps and detailed fossils of insects and plants. It's like stepping back in time to a prehistoric Colorado, with 14 miles of trails to explore and plenty of opportunities to connect with nature and learn about the ancient history of the area. So, lace up your hiking boots and get ready for a fascinating adventure in this unique and diverse fossil-rich landscape!
