History
Rimrock Open Space Information - taken from Website.
Nestled against the red cliffs south of Horsetooth Reservoir, this scenic open space includes a combination of fee simple acquisitions and conservation easements. Rimrock Open Space is open to the public and it is accessed through the City of Fort Collins Coyote Ridge Natural Area south of the Larimer County Landfill on Taft Hill Ft. Collins and/or Wilson Ave. Loveland.
This area is important to protect because of the abundant wildlife found here. On any given day you can spot raptors circling overhead looking for a quick meal. Or, if you are particularly observant you will also be able to see telltale signs left by mule deer, rabbits, coyotes, and other mammals.
