North Cheyenne Cañon Park

HUMMINGBIRD FESTIVAL SATURDAY, MAY 16, 10a-2p
Be there or be square!!

Spring is for the birds!!! From March to July, ground nesting birds are searching for a place to lay their eggs. Please be mindful this season and remember to stay on designated trails and keep your pets on leash. Birds make their nests in some strange places and it is very difficult to spot those nests to avoid possibly stepping on or disturbing them. North Cheyenne Canon Park ground nesters include towhees, juncos, water ouzels, and of course ducks. If you know of others please comment and let us know!
(of course not all the birds represented in the pictures can be found in our park!)

I Didn't Know That!: Leave No Trace Principle #4 - Leave What You Find
Here is a great article from the National Park Service explaining why you should leave what belongs in the Park!

Here is a nifty item one of our canine visitors brought to the park: an odor free poo pouch!!! Apparently this item really is odor free and makes packing out the odiferous doggie byproducts a more reasonable task! Just google odorless poo bags for many options.
I know what my doggos are getting for their birthdays this year!! It's a great way to practice Leave No Trace!🐕 www.lnt.org

Colorado Springs loves dogs!! We have some of the best dedicated dog parks anywhere! But if you want to bring your canine best friend to one of the city parks that is not designated as a dog park, like North Cheyenne Canon Park, that's ok too! Just be aware that City Code requires all dogs be on a leash and dog owners are responsible for the removal of all their waste. Practice Leave No Trace Principle #3: Pack it out and properly dispose of waste!
