CHIMNEY ROCK
-- SPECIAL EVENTS --
Chimney Rock Special Events give participants an opportunity to experience first-hand the environment, culture and lifestyle of the early people of Chimney Rock. Early people developed sophisticated skills to utilize the natural resources in the area for food, medicine, tools, clothing, baskets and pottery.
Workshop fees include all materials unless otherwise indicated. Instructors for each workshop have extensive experience in their topics. Pre-paid advance reservations are required for workshops by the dates indicated. Fees are not refundable after deadline dates.
Weather in Colorado can change by the moment. Workshops will be held unless weather is very severe, in which case paid workshop participants will be notified. Lodging and meals are not included. Please bring a sack lunch as food is not available at the site. For multiple-day workshops, lodging is available in nearby Pagosa Springs, and camping is available at Ute Campground, just 4 miles from Chimney Rock.
Group size is limited and reservations are recommended for our special programs and can only be made by phone at our visitor cabin at 970-883-5359. The phone may be busy, so please keep trying. No reservations will be accepted by e-mail.
