Fast paced hike up Green Mt in Boulder from NCAR

*** I am changing the date of this outing because I was up there today and it is VERY muddy and Boulder is expecting even more rain today and tomorrow***

Hike to the summit of Green Mountain, the 3rd highest peak in Boulder. You’ll get 2,500 ft of elevation gain on this ~12 mile RT trail. This is very similar to the elevation gain of hiking a 14er. Trail is marked as DIFFICULT on the AllTrails APP and we will shoot for a decent pace of about 2.5MPH average.
This hike will be approximately 4-5 hours with lots of uphill. Please assess your own abilities/limitations regarding this hike. Hiking is at your own risk.
We will be meeting at the NCAR Trailhead and will be climbing Green Mt via the Green/Bear Canyon route. TH location: 1850 Table Mesa Dr, Boulder, CO 80305
The parking lot is large and parking is free but I'm starting this hike early to beat the heat since it will be a warm day.
Bring plenty of snacks/food, and water.
We want to meet at the trail head at 5:45am so we can park, meet, and leave right on time at 6:00am!

NO DOGS PLEASE. I don't mind dogs but I know some people do so lets leave them at home for this one.
