Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum (and a new member!). My family moved to Colorado two years ago, and have always been interested in rocks and fossils. We haven't had much of a chance to get out and search much.
We have two kiddos, ages 7 and 4. My 7 year old is fascinated with rocks, gems, and fossils. She even reads nonfiction books about them. She would love to find some fossils or even just some cool crystals.
Anyone have an idea of where we could go that isn't too far? We live in north Colorado Springs. We do hike and the kids can go about 2-3 miles without tiring out, so we can't go too far from where we park.
We have been up around Lake George, but have no idea where to even start...complete amateurs here.
