Immersed in a Mission
Headwaters River Journey, a state-of-the-art interactive museum, invites visitors to discover the wonder of Colorado’s rivers, to become more aware of the critical role the headwaters play in our environment, economy, and Colorado lifestyle, and to explore ways each of us can take action in conserving our greatest resource – water.
Water We Talking About?
The water we drink. The water we bathe in. The water we use to clean our clothes, wash our dishes, and water our lawns. Where does it come from? Are we using it wisely? Will there always be a reliable supply?
In Colorado, the water we use comes primarily from our rivers, including the Fraser River flowing right outside Headwaters River Journey. These rivers we rely on are greatly impacted by diversions, climate change, population growth, and the personal choices we make about water usage
More Than 30 Engaging Exhibits.
Using state-of-the-art interactive technology, Headwaters River Journey takes visitors on an informative, insightful, and introspective exploration of the wonders of nature, the importance of water, and our direct impact on them both.
