Located 15 min­utes south of Fort Collins, Coyote Ridge is a nat­ural area con­sist­ing if a cou­ple hun­dred acres of prairie. A trail runs from the road up across sev­eral ridges.

I’m pretty pleased with it’s qual­ity, but I think I’m going to need to get a really small tri­pod for the insect work.
