SUMMARY:Farewell Saturn\, Hello Uranus
DESCRIPTION:The seasons are changing\, and so is the sky! Saturn and Mars are low in the West\, and this may be our last chance to see Saturn before it disappears into the sunset for the rest of the year. Fortunately\, another planet is rising in the East to take its place: Uranus! Fall constellations\, and the famous Andromeda Galaxy\, are making their first appearances as well. Meet at the Visitor Center. \nPlease dress warmly\, as evenings at the park’s high elevation can be cool even in the summer. Bring binoculars or a flashlight if you wish (red-filtered lights only please). Also\, please note that viewing is weather-dependent\, and takes place only if the sky is clear. Ranger-led talks take place rain or shine.\nAdmission for the program is the regular park entrance fee which is $3 per adult (16 years and older) children and federal pass holders are free. Please call (719) 748-3253 ext. 202 for more information.

SUMMARY:Meet Aspens Up Close
DESCRIPTION:  \nAre you heading into the mountains to see the changing leaves this year? Would you like to “get to know” those beautiful aspen up close? If you are interested to know more about the amazing aspen\, then join a Park Ranger at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument for a 1-2 hour guided-hike on the Sawmill Trail (2.2 miles) on Saturday\, September 20\, 2014. The hike will start at the visitor center at 10:00AM.\nFlorissant Fossil Beds is the site of easily accessible (on foot) smaller aspen groves rather than the sweeping color vistas seen at distance from local highways. On this hike you will get to explore these small pockets of golden wonder and learn up close about the aspen tree’s natural history. For example\, did you know aspens can reproduce from sucker roots underground? To learn more\, come on the hike.\nThe regular park entrance fee of $3.00 per adult (16 and older) covers the program. Interagency Federal Passes are accepted.\nSpace is limited\, please call ahead for details at (719) 748 – 3253 ext. 202\nFollow us on Twitter at @FlorissantNPS and on Facebook/FlorissantNPS or visit the park’s website at www.nps.gov/flfo \nPhoto: Wayne Johnston

SUMMARY:Elk Hike at Fossil Beds
DESCRIPTION:Take part in a Rocky Mountain tradition: listening for the bugling of the bull Elk (Wapiti) on an autumn evening. Join a ranger at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument to learn about listen to the wild Wapiti. \nThese programs will include a brief presentation about these magnificent animals\, followed by an off trail hike of up to 2 miles during which we will look and listen for the elk in the wild. Normal entrance fees to Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument will apply ($3 per adult\, 16 and older). Annual passes to the Fossil Beds are available for $15 (good for the cardholder and 3 other adults).\nLarge numbers of people tend to make the elk wary and elusive\, so the number of participants will be limited. Advance registration is required. In the past these programs have filled up quickly\, so call early for reservations. Tables and grills are available near the visitor center for picnics before the program.\nFor reservations call (719) 748 – 3253 ext. 202 \nPhotos: Wayne Johnston
