NOTE: In consideration of our participants' health, the Friday, September 5 hike has been cancelled due to poor air quality from wildfire smoke. Please stay tuned for additional sound hike dates.

Join us in experiencing “Confluences” through a very special sound hike on the Ucross Ranch on Friday September 5 starting at 9 a.m. This will be one in a series of sound hikes available within the coming months.

"Confluences" is an emplaced sound experience created by Ucross artist-alumni Teri Rueb and Laurids Sonne. It is available via a free downloadable app (iOS and Android) that visitors can run on their mobile phones while walking the land. Interactive areas of sound play as visitors wander revealing a sonic landscape of sounds recorded over three years that include voices of the Ucross community former artists-in-residence local residents of Clear Creek Valley and field recordings taken in different seasons.

During the hike Ucross staff will walk with visitors on a private trail on the ranch as interactive areas of sound play. The hike will be less than two hours; we will meet at the Ucross Art Gallery at 9 a.m. for an introduction and orientation before caravanning to the trail (about two minutes drive).
