Camaraderie. Conversation. Fresh Air & Exercise
Join us for an opportunity to meet new people while getting outdoors. Kids are welcome. Fido too on his/her leash where allowed. On weekends we usually stick fairly close to Denver with hikes offering great Colorado scenery and views. You will sometimes get to see big horn sheep (like on the Quandary climb), hawks soaring overhead (like from dinosaur Ridge) , wildflowers in the spring, and songbirds in the forest. We usually stop off for lunch on the way home.
Folks it is winter now. And we are in Colorado. Please come to your outing prepared. Depending on the outing you may need snowshoes or spikes and poles. Dress in layers and try to stay away from anything cotton. And as we get further into winter be prepared to attach your snowshoes to your pack.
We have different hikes. We do from easy to moderate hikes in the foothills with 300 to 600 feet elevation gain to more challenging hikes higher up in the mountains. Decent trail shoes or boots are recommended along with some extra clothing, a snack and some water.
We also mix in more advanced trips on a regular basis like backpacking the Grand Canyon, other National Parks and Wilderness Areas in Colorado and other states.
Please assess each the outing based on your abilities, gear and physical conditioning. Same for the kids if they plan to come along. Join the group and we'll email you the hike details, directions to the park-n-ride we're using and directions to the trailhead each week so you can make your plans.

See all- Backpack into Wheeler Lakes- Near Copper MountainNeeds location
We're going to backpack into Wheeler Lakes. I have been in there a few times and have always wanted to camp there for a few days. It's a very nice setting with two lakes.
For a description of the go here: Wheeler Lakes Colorado - Two Awesome Alpine Lakes with a Surprise
We'll stay two nights. On Saturday you can do whatever you want to. One option would be to hike up the Gore Range Trail that continues up to Uneva pass which is a little over 11,000. There is an unnamed peak up there east of the pass that tops out at 12,242.
We'll come back out and drive home on Sunday.
You can go in and/or come out whenever it suits you.
I'm going to check on fishing the lakes.There are no restrooms at the trailhead that I know of.
