Name: Monthly Shuttle Hike - Mesa Trail
Start: 2024-05-28T09:45:00-06:00

**HIKE INFO:** For May let's do the classic end to end hike on the Mesa Trail from Chautauqua to the South Mesa Trailhead. In order to do this we will have to have cars at both ends. Thus, we will meet at the end of the hike and carpool to the start of the hike. This hike is about 7 miles and is overall moderate. Please remember we will need someone to take the drivers back to Chautauqua after the hike to get their cars.

Here is a description of the hike (the length listed is roundtrip, we are only going one way) - https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/boulder-mesa-trail

**LOCATION:** South Mesa TH, where we will meet for carpooling and the end of the hike - https://bouldercolorado.gov/trailhead/south-mesa
Additional parking is available across the street - https://bouldercolorado.gov/trailhead/doudy-draw
Please note that these lots do have parking fees if you do not have Boulder County plates. Cars can be dropped at the free lot on corner of 93 and Eldorado Springs Dr, across from the Marshall Mesa TH if you are not a driver and do not have Boulder County plates.

**POST HIKE:** For those that are interested going out after the hike for food/beverages is an option.

**DOGS:** Friendly dogs are welcome. I will be bringing my dog Flokie. If you bring a dog make sure you know and follow the rules for the trails we are hiking.

**REQUIRED:** Bring energy foods, lunch, plenty of water, sun gear (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses), snow/rain/wind/warm gear, perhaps hiking poles, dress in layers. Be prepared for changes in weather and variable conditions. Be self-sufficient, you are hiking at your own risk.

Hiking is risky. Every year people are hurt and killed because they go beyond their abilities, get lost, bring the wrong gear or just have an accident. I am not a professional guide or medical professional. By signing up for this hike you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own safety and will do the necessary research to understand your health and fitness level, the weather, the conditions of this hike and the gear you require. Anyone choosing to hike should carry personal medical insurance.
