A vibrant, informative guide to the unexpected nature found in and around Denver

Wild Denver is an accessible and fun guide to the natural wonders found in Denver, Colorado and its near surroundings. In the grand tradition of Timber Press’s Wild series, this nature-centric instalment first leads readers through the natural history, environments, and phenomenon occurring in Denver, from the lore of Colorado’s iconic Dinger the Dinosaur to the impact of the Dust Bowl drought. Then it shifts gears and takes adventurers on 25 exciting field trips that include both popular parks as well as lesser-known “hidden gems.” Lastly, to help adventurers from all walks of life get the most out of these journeys, what follows is a colorful selection of 99 plants, trees, and animals found in and about an hour’s drive of this naturally gorgeous city. Whether you’re visiting or eager to know a different side of your hometown, Wild Denver holds the key to new and exciting experiences.
