Spring Wild Flower & Water Fall Hike to Ouzel Lake in Wild Basin

This is a spectacular hike full of early wild flowers and sparkling waterfalls.

We'll meet to carpool in Boulder then begin our trek at the Wild Basin trailhead. Full of life with spring run off, we'll enjoy Lower and Upper Copeland Falls, the magical Calypso Cascades and the impressive Ouzel Falls before continuing up to the lake for lunch in the sunshine!

New members are welcome. Total distance is a little more than 9 miles with moderate grades. Trail should be snow free with the exception of the last half mile so feel free to bring a ski pole for that part.

Sunshine and warm weather are guarenteed but bring the usual 2 litres of water, lunch, a snack to share and light jacket/weather gear just in case. Feel free to email me with any questions at Ken.Beitel@gmail.com or call my cell at 720 436-2465.

On the way back we can stop at the rustic Mill Site Inn on the Peak-to-Peak highway for a tasty brew and food. We'll be back in Boulder around 5:30pm or earlier if you don't join us at the Mill Site.
