Good times are waiting there. Let's go hike the Burning Bear!

This is a new hike for Weekday Wanderers. It is a usually quiet, out and back, about 4.7 miles with less than 500 ft of climb. Near Guanella Pass, it features well developed creek side and creek crossing trails with canopied pathways and beautiful meadow and foothill views. Expect sun with temps around 80. Maybe even a moose or two, if we're lucky!

Ed Robb will host this hike, so be guided by him.

BRING: Weather appropriate gear. Extra water. Personal emergency info and needs. Snacks for the trail and /or optional after-hike picnic. All are welcome including dogs with well behaved masters on leash.
