Welcome to the Denver Trail Heads!
This group is for people with a wide array of interests in the outdoors. We will be hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing, camping, cross country skiing, etc. We might even meet for an occasional cocktail and will have quarterly planning meetings so members can get involved in planning and leading events.
If you have an idea for an official Meetup activity, please let me know. I have activated the message board, so feel free to post an event or activity that is related to the outdoors. Please, no: spam, solicitations, inappropriate material, or messages that should be sent directly to another member (as opposed to the whole group). Also, look at the message board and the calendar on the lower left of the screen as some events are not "official" posts. And the FILES section has some good resources for you as well.
Please RSVP yes only if you definitely plan to come. No maybes, as many events are for a limited #. Thanks!
FEES: A $1 donation per event that you attend is requested. If you are unemployed or do not have enough money to pay, that is fine. Keep in mind, a lot of work goes into planning events. There is also a cost to maintain the group. If everyone takes on a small share, we can keep the group growing and continue to offer high quality events for you to enjoy. Please give your carpool driver money for gas as a courtesy also. :)
DISCLAIMER: Activities this group are involved in can be risky. Every year people are hurt and killed because they go beyond their abilities, get lost, get caught in weather or bring the wrong gear. Event organizers and leaders are regular people like you and I. We are not professional guides, you are responsible for yourself. By signing up for an event you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own safety and will do the necessary research to understand the conditions of the event and the gear you require. Anyone choosing to hike with our group should carry personal medical insurance and a CORSAR (Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue) card in case of an emergency.
Weather in Colorado is unpredictable. If we know conditions are going to be bad, we will cancel the event. Many times storms form without warning. Check for weather conditions before you leave for an event. If you feel uncomfortable at anytime, we understand if you don't attend.
Wanna do a short hike before you eat? Maybe take the family out?
Let's do Dakota Ridge in Lakewood. (Yes, this hike includes the dinosaur tracks) It's not easy, but it will give everyone a good workout. Expect 3.6 miles with 800 feet elevation gain. Expect a moderate pace. Beginners welcome, but you need to be in pretty good shape!
Meet at 12:30, we're starting at 12:40pm. If you're late, catch up. Read more
