Fremont Adventure Recreation
Fremont Adventure Recreation (FAR) has been creating and supporting community events since 2010. Their mission is to promote a culture of community and healthy living through human-powered outdoor recreation in the Royal Gorge Region. Most events are rooted in recreation, including running and mountain bike races, kids' outings, and trail maintenance. This particular fundraiser, however, is an opportunity not only to coordinate with one of their sponsors - The Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience - but also to celebrate a facet of our community's rich history. Many of our public lands are also sites where dinosaurs once roamed, an inland sea flooded the valley, and geothermal activity helped forge the landscape. Cañon City is the site of the fabled 'Bone Wars' - an historic rush to capture and capitalize on the many fossils in the area.
Now, your recreational activities will take you past historic fossil dig sites, looming dinosaur footprints, fragments of ancient shells, and the undulating syncline and anticlines of our varied geology. Our recreation is riddled with science.
This fundraiser will allow FAR to continue to offer events, education, and support to Fremont County. For more information, see joinFAR.org.
Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience
The Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience gives kids of all ages the opportunity to experience science-focused interactive displays, full-scale dinosaur fossil casts, hands-on exhibits with real dinosaur fossils, skinned animatronic dinosaur exhibits, guided tours, and—for added family fun, value and lasting memories—a multi-story ropes course.
