Full Wolf Moon Sunrise/Moonset Walk

TYPE: Walk | PACE: Gentle/Conversational | TERRAIN: Dirt/Gravel Trails | DISTANCE: 3.3 miles |

Walk Description: This Saturday morning sunrise/moonset hike is a spectacular way to greet the weekend and watch the first full moon of 2026 go down behind the Flatirons. We'll hike the 3.3-mile loop around Davidson Mesa just as the sun is coming up and the full January "Wolf Moon" is setting.

Schedule and Planning: We will meet at 6:30 am in the parking lot at Davidson Mesa. The hike will take about an hour, but we'll stop to take in the views along the way. Sunrise is at 7:06 am and moonset is at 7:58 am. Bring a hot drink and wear plenty of warm layers!
