Phantom Canyon Preserve

Located in North-Central Colorado, 30 miles northwest of Fort Collins, you will find Phantom Canyon Preserve, one of Northern Colorado's last roadless canyons. Phantom Canyon was preserved the The Nature Conservancy in 1987. My brother-in-law spent part of his summer interning for The Nature Conservancy at Phantom Canyon Preserve. He gave tours, organized volunteers, and spent a lot of time removing invasive species.
Nicholas spent a week with his brother at the end of September and was able to visit this beautiful place. They did a lot of intense hiking through grasslands, cliffs, and the river. It was a beautiful time to be in Colorado!

My mother-in-law loves the nature pictures with the water in the background, so I have a feeling that the following pictures were taken especially for her.
