Let's hike Herman Gulch on Saturday!

Let's hike Herman Gulch up to the lake this Saturday. We will meet at the trailhead at 8:30 and get on the trail about 8:45. This is a great hike with a lake at top. I'm hoping there will be some wildflowers.....not very hopeful but maybe

Take I-70 to exit 218, turn right and you are there. The trailhead is the only thing at this exit. I drive a white Ram Promaster van and will be in the parking lot.

I live in Georgetown and will drive to the trailhead. Carpooling is encouraged from the Denver area. Please make carpooling arrangements in the comments section if you are coming from the Denver area. Wooly Mammoth Park-N-Ride is a place I used a lot whenever I lived in the Denver area.

We can get some lunch in afterwards. We'll let the group decide where.
