Cloudy skies over Soapstone Prairie Natural Area.
Although it is owned and operated by the City of Fort Collins, Soapstone Prairie Natural Area is located up on the Wyoming border, just under an hour from town. The area has an extensive trail network- good for hiking, and outstanding for mountain biking.
