Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Open Space

Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Open Space
A mixture of grasslands, riparian, and water habitats makes this open space unique in the semi-desert climate of the Colorado Front Range. Identified as an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society, Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Open Space is a crucial spot for many different species of birds. Regardless of whether a species lives here all year long, or passes through here on its migration, this open space can be a source of relative safety from the rigors of survival.
Birds are not the only species that finds this place a calming respite from the stresses of day to day living. Humans find it equally comforting and uplifting; an escape from the pressures of the 21st century. When you come to this open space, bring your sketch book, camera, spotting scope, or binoculars. Take advantage of the quiet, peaceful essence of this almost magical place to recharge and renew your inner self.

Burney Falls California

Burney Falls is not the highest nor largest waterfall in the state, but many people consider it the most beautiful. Unlike other waterfalls here or elsewhere, it continues to flow at the same rate all year long: about 100 million gallons every day. The strikingly clear, pure water flows from openings in the volcanic rock at and above the falls. The water temperature, even on hot summer days, is about 42 degrees fahrenheit. The 129-foot-high waterfall cascades into an almost iridescent pool underneath. Light penetrates deep into the clear water, reflecting a cool blue color.
