Journey from the Heart at Marmot Amphitheater
With close ties to the earth, native North American cultures are a crucial link between human society and nature. The flute playing, circle dances, animal impressions, stories, songs, drumming, and sharing of the Medicine bag are presented in a very colorfully captivating setting, creating an inspirational program to draw the participant into the humor and ancient wisdom of the First Nations.

Trick or Treat Your Brain!! 10a-2p
Due to COVID 19 CDC and state mandates, we will not be having traditional trick or treating at Staunton. In an attempt to spread out visitors and to keep staff, volunteers and visitors safe, we will have educational hikes along two different trails. Start your hike at the visitor center Davis Ponds trail head or start at the Ranch Hand Picnic area Davis Ponds trail head. An additional hike will start at the Staunton Ranch Trail head. These self guided hikes will be fun facts and fiction about Halloween creatures and phenomena at Staunton Park! Visit the visitor center patio for an Owl display , the Meadow upper parking lot for a Bat display and the Ranch Hand Group picnic area to see the Mad Dr Staunton! Treat the kids to a fun and educational and sometimes tricky trail hike for a 2020 Halloween the kids won’t forget!
To keep staff, visitors and volunteers safe please wear a mask and practice social distancing.
Location Staunton State Park, 12102 S. Elk Creek Rd, Pine CO 80470
