Description
In this all-day class, we’ll hike Vail Pass looking for mushrooms and berries to forage, and learning high-elevation plants. Mushrooms can be hit or miss, but the class will take place regardless–fungi or no fungi. Other activities may include: learning botanical terms, plant ID by group, how to use a flora, and/or something hands-on from my backpack. If our hunt is successful, we’ll cook some mushrooms up back at the trailhead. I am super excited to offer this class for the first time this year, with permission from the USFS. Hosted by WFG ($130)

- KNOW: This hike will be 2-4 miles round-trip. The trail goes uphill for a while, and then levels out somewhat. We will stop to look at things a lot and catch our breath. This is high elevation. If you are vacationing here directly from sea level, you should acclimate first. Please contact me if you have any concerns about your ability to participate.
