065 - Las Colonias: From Mill to Park History Tour
Take a trip through time on the Riverfront Trail and learn the history of how the north bank of the Colorado River transitioned from a Spanish settlement to a sugar beet factory to a uranium processing mill to a beautiful city park. The tour will also cover the current work of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management to monitor the park as well as efforts by the city to restore its native habitat. This low impact, half mile walk on paved ground begins and ends at the amphitheater parking lot. Layered clothing and comfortable shoes are recommended.
