Eagle’s Nest Open Space

As an avid outdoors person and avid hiker, this was probably one of the most challenging yet rewarding hikes I have ever undertaken. It is the most quiet place in the world I have ever been which is delicately transformative, if you allow it be be. It is the largest land area of natural wildlife I had ever experienced with natural springs and rivers randomly scattered throughout the landscape. Red Feather Lakes, where Eagle’s Nest Open Space is located, is its own special little gem hidden in this deceitfully peculiar place.
There are a number of trails to choose and parking is not an issue at all so it is very convenient and peaceful. There was a point during the hike where I, literally, thought I physically could not make it but I kept pushing. This was a revelation I experience a handful of times before the hike was over and I was so proud of myself for pushing forward and accomplishing something I did not think possible for myself.
Come prepared and properly attired, with plenty of water and a backpack with survival food, should anything occur. Also, dress in layers as you will sweat no matter how cold the temperature.
A fantastic place for kids, families and groups to enjoy nature at its very finest.
