Lory State Park - moderate 2h hike

Start your Halloween weekend with a quick hike in Lory State Park, just NW of Fort Collins!

We'll begin at the Timber Trail Head. Up the Timber Trail to Kimmons; down Kimmons; back to the Trail Head on the West Valley Trail. All told about 4 miles/550 verts. We'll go at a moderate beginner/intermediate pace, so this should take us about 2 hours. I'd call this a beginner/intermediate hike due to the few hundred feet of elevation gain. The trail is well marked and maintained. This hike is one of my favorite close-in loops around Fort Collins. You'll get some nice views of the Front Range from the top. This is a dog friendly hike. I'll have my 7 y.o. German Shepherd with me. We head up the trail promptly at 0900. Don't be late!

Optional coffee at Oh Me Oh Pie in LaPorte afterwards.

No carpools - just meet at the Timber Trail Head.

As long as you didn't opt out, your CO vehicle registration includes a State Park pass. If you did opt out/are registered in a different state a day pass is $10/$15.
