Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, located just 20 miles from downtown Denver, is a sanctuary that offers a nature escape from the busy urban life. With its expansive views, diverse wildlife, and a variety of outdoor recreational activities, visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and observe native animals such as elk, deer, raptors, songbirds, waterfowl, prairie dogs, and coyotes.
Established in 2007, the refuge is dedicated to preserving and protecting over 630 species of plants, including the globally rare xeric tallgrass prairie. It boasts striking vistas of the Rocky Mountains' Front Range, as well as rolling prairie grasslands, woodlands, and wetlands. With its commitment to wildlife conservation, Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge provides a safe haven for migratory and resident wildlife species, including the federally threatened Preble's meadow jumping mouse, and serves as a protected corridor for migrating wildlife.
