This is habitat for nesting Mountain Bluebirds, with the male being striking blue overall and the female being blue and gray. There are about 20 bird-nesting boxes in the area that are used by Mountain Bluebirds or Tree Swallows every year. Look for swallows and bluebirds as you travel on Golf Course Road.
The area suffered a huge pine beetle infestation several years ago and many of the dead trees fell or were removed, thus creating bluebird habitat Bluebirds hunt mostly for bugs they find on the ground. Tree Swallows feed on flying bugs. New growth of Lodgepole Pine is re-vegetating the area.
Below you is a golf course in the summer and a nordic center in the winter. Pickleball and tennis are played just down the hill. To the north is a beautiful view of the Never Summer mountain range that overlooks Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP).
