Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge 2

Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is an amazing example of transition from farmland to war-time munitions factory to wildlife refuge.  If you do not know the story of this beautiful place, it’s worth looking up their web site and reading about one of the most successful restoration projects ever.

The refuge is a perfect place to spend an afternoon.  From the lakes teeming with waterfowl to the prairies with herds of Bison, this refuge is one of the most interesting and educational places you can visit.
