Green Mountain (Boulder) Loop 8,144’!

6 miles RT with 2,500' elevation gain.

One of my all time favorites - there's a lot to like here. Let's play out this nice Fall weather as long as we can. Although lower in elevation, this peak provides a great training hike and is not easy. It is steep in spots and will serve up a good quad and glute workout. There is a series of good trails that lead to the summit and there is no need to climb the any of the Flatirons to get there. We'll start at the Ranger Cottage and then go Baseline > Gregory Canyon > Ranger > West Ridge > Greenman > Saddle Rock > Amphitheater > Meadow and then back to the cottage. We'll take short breaks on the hour and a longer break on the summit.

Please bring your pack, fluids, snacks, layers, and good footwear, Don't forget your sun protection.

Parking is free on weekdays and there are restrooms at the cottage.
