Before long we’ll have an online gift shop for your ordering ease but till then we’ll have to support you the old fashioned way.
MPEC welcomes you to stop in to see many of our new items in the gift shop designed for your holiday gift giving. A blend of items that you have requested including “Buff Headwear” for our outdoor enthusiasts, along with handmade and locally made items will make your gift giving easier. Plus your purchases will help us at MPEC. We have some beautiful seasonal Zena Moon Candles, a variety of salves and balms made by a Pueblo Herbalist – Kierra Duran, handmade mittens from recycled sweaters and the best selection of Nature t shirts in southern colorado.
We are happy to shop and ship for you. We think you’ll love our fleecy mountain lodge style throw blankets for only $22 – these are just like the ones we have gracing the bunks in the east wing. They are warm and a high quality fleece and everyone that visits MPEC loves them. All of this and even homemade Horseshoe Lodge Pumpkin Granola and Devil’s Canyon Trail Mix made in our own kitchen is available.
MPEC is also proud to offer a wide variety of nature education books including titles from local authors. David Martin, Marc Praterelli, Maria Westy Bush and Carol Fortino are all accomplished authors who live and write inspired by the Beulah mountains and are included our ” local author” offerings.
Plants of The Pueblo Mountain Park by Dave Van Manen is a direct project of MPEC and gives you an opportunity to learn local plants that grow not only in the park but the area’s bioregion.
