Botany Aquatic & Carnivorous Plants of Crested Butte
Luke Tembrock ! $70 w e N Level: • Beginner Length: 2-3 miles on well-packed trail, some rolling/steep terrain
A mere 10,000 years ago the Slate River Valley and surrounding feeder drainages played host to a vast quantity of glacial ice; when that ice melted water loving plants thrived! Many of those plant species remain including the common bladderwort, a carnivorous plant with some of the fastest “jaws” in nature and beautiful snapdragon-like flowers. On this hike will visit Crested Butte’s bladderwort hotspot and examine other aquatic and riparian species along the way. B04
