This summer the CU Boulder Mountain Research Station will be holding weekly seminars on Wednesday at 7pm starting on June 14. All seminars are open to the public. No reservations are required for seminars. Please arrive 15 minutes early so that you have time to park and make your way to the seminar location (which varies depending on the week).
During some weeks (see schedule below) we will also invite the public to join us for dinner (by pre-registration only). If you are interested in attending a dinner + seminar evening the price will be 30USD / adult, 15USD / child (under 12) and you must email mrs@colorado.edu to reserve your spot (please let us know the number in your party and any dietary restrictions). We will confirm your reservation by email.
Dinners will start at 6pm (talks start at 7pm) so please arrive a little before 6pm to park and make your way to the Wildrose Dining Hall. There will be marked visitor parking at the bottom of a short hill (Lot 1) as well as parking at the top of the hill closer to the dining hall (Lot 2). If you do not mind a short uphill walk of about 300ft please park in Lot 1. We are located at 818 County Road 116, Nederland CO 80466.
Please remember to bring your payment (30USD / adult, 15USD / child (under 12)) in cash or as a check made out to the University of Colorado.
