Nestled against the red cliffs south of Horsetooth Reservoir, this scenic open space includes a combination of fee simple acquisitions and conservation easements. Rimrock Open Space is open to the public and it is accessed through the City of Fort Collins Coyote Ridge Natural Area south of the Larimer County Landfill on Taft Hill (Ft. Collins) and/or Wilson Ave. (Loveland). This area is important to protect because of the abundant wildlife found here.
