Run Lion Gulch
Details
For Saturday’s run we will be running Lion Gulch through Homestead Meadows.
ROUTE
We'll start from the Lion Gulch Trailhead, which is between Lyons and Estes Park, off Hwy 36. From there, we'll head into the Homestead Meadows area via single-track, where we'll check out several old homesteads.
The trailhead to the homestead area is about 3 miles, then we'll wonder around checking out homesteads for another 6-7 miles before heading back, so total distance will be about 13 miles; however, any distance is possible.
Total elevation gain will be around 2300ft and expect to be out around 3.5 hours.
CARPOOL
We'll use the following 2 carpool options:
- North Foothills Trailhead in Boulder at 8:00a – At the intersection of Broadway and Hwy 36, head north on 36 a few hundred feet. Turn right onto the dirt road. Trailhead is a little ways down on your left.
- Moxie Bread Co in Lyons at 8:20am - 442 High Street, Lyons, CO – the corner of High St & 5th Street, Lyons, CO.
Alternatively, meet us at the trailhead, which is 12 miles west of Lyons on Hwy 36. The trailhead is located on the left (west) side of the road. I expect we'll be there shortly after 8:45a.
CONSIDERATIONS
They are calling for some snow or rain towards the end of this week, but who knows if that will amount to anything. But be prepared in case it is a little damp.
Dog friendly (leashed).
In your RSVP, please indicate where you intend to meet us (NFT, Moxie, or Trailhead).
