Ensō invites you to a morning in the forest.

Join mycologist Dr. Gordon Walker for a guided spring foray through a seasonal riparian forest in the Rocky Mountain foothills. Together you will explore mushroom identification, fungal ecology, and the art of observing a living landscape — learning to see what most people walk past.

Dr. Walker brings a rare combination of scientific depth and genuine curiosity to every foray. His approach is grounded, unhurried, and accessible to all levels — whether you are new to foraging or deepening a practice you have carried for years.

This is a small-group experience. Expect real conversation, hands-on learning, and a morning that changes how you see the woods.

—

Come dressed for variable spring mountain conditions. Wear long pants, sturdy footwear, and layers. Bring water, snacks, and lunch. Terrain includes uneven ground and moderate hiking.

Looking for the full experience? The Spring Foray + Wild Dinner pairs this morning foray with an evening three-course dinner prepared by Chef Kyle Mendenhall — a complete day from forest to table.

The Spring Foray and Wild Dinner are also available as separate experiences. Purchasing them together as a combined ticket is the best value — and the most complete way to spend the day.
