What is a Birding Trail?

The Birding Trail links outdoor recreation sites, both public and private, into a network through a designated driving route. Each of these driving routes have a unique trail name and are composed of several watchable wildlife sites. Some trails include hiking or walking paths or platforms where you can observe different wildlife and scenery.

Thanks to the Partners!

The Colorado Birding Trail was made possible by a joint effort of many federal, state and non-profit agencies and most especially, the people of Colorado. Meet the Partners!
