Ute Valley Hike, ~5 miles, 500’ Elevation, Moderate Pace 🏔️

Hi, I’m Luz and will be guest hosting for Claudine. 👋

UPDATE ⚠️ I was planning on doing the Thomas Trail loop with the group to see the art installation BUT sadly it was taken down before we had a chance to check it out. Due to how hard finding parking is for this hike, I’ll be changing the hike for Sunday. Sorry ant the last minute change, but wanted to make parking easier for our hike. Mileage should be about the same, and I hope to see most of you! ⚠️
Join us for a 5 mile, 500 feet of elevation, moderate pace hike. 🥾

🚗Parking and directions: Follow the directions from AllTrails link to find parking and the trailhead. There should be easy and plentiful parking for this hike! We’ll meet at the trailhead and head out promptly at 9 am.
