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- A little over a week of hiking and who knows what else around the Moab area. .Needs location
This trip is back on, but I have to do it a different way. I'm going to go over to Moab and find us a campsite. There are plenty available, but you can't reserve them. They are first come, first served. When I have a site, I'll add it to this posting.
I have a room in Green River on the 8th. and one in Moab on Friday the 9th. That will give me two days to find a campsite in the Moab area.
Green River was a very popular meeting place during the days of the fur trade 1815-1840. There is a mountain man museum there that should be worth visiting. Green River Rendezvous - Museum of the Mountain Man
If you want to go over there on the 8th or 9th you can probably find reasonably priced lodging in either Green River or Monticello. Both are about an hour from Moab.
I already have the backcountry site for the night of Tuesday, the 13th reserved. It's the hike out to Murphy Point. You can find the description of that hike on this page. Murphy Point Trail (U.S. National Park Service)
I also know of one day hike I want to do in Arches. It's Devil's Garden. Best Hike in Arches National Park - Devil's Garden Primitive TrailPlease let me know if you are planning to go. Since I don't have a campsite yet I haven't asked for a deposit for this trip. There will be a reasonable fee. You have my phone number. Call me with any questions and keep me posted as to your plans. I need to know who's going to be where and when.
Thanks,Scott
