COPARC, NAFHA, KHS and OHS Tri Corners Trip July 25-27

Post by TimCO »

What does COPARC do after an ultra successful Otero County Survey? We join together with our neighbors for an even bigger one. Join CO PARC, the Kansas Herpetological Society, and the Oklahoma Herpetological Society in the Tri-Corner area of southeast Colorado. Bring your family, friends and anyone else interested in the natural world. If you are coming equipped with a smartphone we'd like to encourage you to use the HERP Mobile application to document your herp sightings, Your herp records can be uploaded once you return to an area with wi-fi. COPARC encourages ALL herp sightings to be recorded.

Most of the attendees will either camp at the Cimarron Grasslands on the Kansas side, or stay in Elkhart motels.

Below is some information that should help make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Gas – Fuel is readily available in Elkhart KS.

Roads – Many of the roads in the area are either gravel county roads or sand “two-tracks”. All the county roads are passable by any conventional vehicle in dry weather. The two-tracks vary from car-passable to ones that you’ll need a higher clearance vehicle (SUVs should have no problem). In the event of significant precipitation, plan to utilize 4-wheel/all-wheel drive vehicles on dirt roads.

Food – There are some dining options in Elkhart.

Water – If you are camping, plan to bring plenty of water.

Weather - Plan on high mid-day temps, with possible showers. In short, great herp weather!


Looking forward to another fantastic COPARC survey!
