Allenspark
Aliases: Saint Vrain Mountain Trailhead
A tiny mountain hamlet, Allenspark is best known for its bird feeders. Take a walk around town – both chickadees and all three nuthatches visit feeders year round. In winter, finches like Evening Grosbeak, Pine Grosbeak, and all three Rosy-finch species sometimes drop by, especially in inclement weather. In the summer, you can often pick out Rufous and Calliope Hummingbirds from among the throngs of Broad-taileds. A set of feeders along Ski Road sometimes attracts Band-tailed Pigeons in summer. Keep in mind Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommends following bear aware principles when feeding birds in bear country – see the CPW website for more information.
