Description
The Morse Well, named for the head of the Boulder Parks, was originally built in 1929. In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) reinforced the well and built a set of retaining walls that set off the site.
Morse Well lies near the top of Flagstaff Mountain, within the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks.
