The photo: It's winter now. This photo is from our hike up the Three Mile Trail on November 7th . Come on out and enjoy the winter with us. There is no place better to be to enjoy the winter than Colorado.
NOTICE: It is winter now. We will continue to have activities during the winter months but be aware of the weather. If there is any doubt check any activity ON THE MORNING OF to see if it has been canceled!!!!
Camaraderie. Conversation. Fresh Air & Exercise
Join us for an opportunity to meet new people while getting outdoors. Kids are welcome. Fido too on his/her leash where allowed. On Sundays we usually stick close to Denver with 2 hour hikes offering great Colorado scenery and views. You will sometimes get to see big horn sheep (like on the Quandary climb), hawks soaring overhead (like from Dinasour Ridge) , wildflowers in the spring, and songbirds in the forest. We usually stop off for lunch on the way home.
We have different hikes. Mostly, we do moderate hikes in the foothills with 300 to 600 feet elevation gain. Decent trail shoes or boots are recommended along with some extra clothing, a snack and some water.
When we have a larger group we usually split it into two groups going opposite ways.
On Saturdays we'll be doing some progressively more difficult things as winter takes over like snowshoeing or X-skiing
We'll even schedule a few winter camping trips if there is enough interest. The Rocky Mountain Nat. Park is beautiful in the winter with the snow covered mountains and the elk hanging around.
Please assess each the outing based on your abilities, gear and physical conditioning. Same for the kids if they plan to come along. Join the group and I'll email you the hike details, directions to the park-n-ride we're using and directions to the trailhead each week so you can make your plans.
Be aware: The weather may have an effect on this hike.
Directions to the parking lot:From I-70, exit onto Highway 74 (Exit 252) going south past Bergen Park. Continue 2.25 miles to Lewis Ridge Road turning right into the parking lot.
There are a combination of trails here that we can check out. We'll do whatever the group wants to do. Be advised there will probably be some snow on the trail. Read more
