Eldorado Canyon Hike

Details

Let's hike Rattlesnake Gulch in Eldorado Canyon State Park. This is my favorite trail in the area, with beautiful views of the canyon and a panorama at the top including the Continental Divide.

We'll do a portion of the hike in silence, and a short sitting meditation at the top.

About the Hike

  • Rattlesnake Gulch
  • 4.2 Miles
  • 1,025 ft. elevation gain
  • ~2 hours of moving time (from my last hike of this route)

This is a non-technical hike on a well established trail. We'll adjust pace to meet ability level.

Carpool / Logistics
We'll meet at Eldorado Canyon Shuttle Lot for Carpool at 5:00p. It is a short drive into the park.

I'll be wearing a yellow long sleeved sun shirt and waiting next to a grey 4runner with a lift and roof rack.

If anyone would like some basic mindful hiking instruction, come a bit early and I'll get you sorted.

Suggested Items to Bring

  • Something to sit on for a 10-20 minute meditation
  • Sun protection (trail has little shade)
  • Water
  • Layers
