Welcome to [Rise & Grind](https://www.cmc.org/education-adventure/trips/find-trips#b_start=0&c2=Rise+%26+Grind), the CMC Boulder Group’s morning hiking and coffee series. Our objective is to start our day off right with some exercise, good company and a little mindfulness. In addition to the hike itself, we’ll pause on the summit for a moment of silent reflection and set our intentions for the day. Afterward there will be an optional stop for coffee, symbolizing a fresh start and the energy needed to conquer the day.

We hike every Wednesday (moderate) and Friday (challenging) morning. For more trip listings, click [HERE](https://www.cmc.org/education-adventure/trips/find-trips#b_start=0&c2=Rise+%26+Grind).
