All,
This is one of my favorite hikes in Colorado. Unfortunately I can only do mid-week since I am busy the following 2 weekends. If anyone is interested in a leading a group to this incredible location please let me know as I will assist in all the coordination prep for the meetup (ie maybe 7/12 may be good as I like Sundays)

PS: PLEASE CONTINUE TO CHECK THIS MEETUP AS IT MAY CHANGE BASED ON WILDFLOWER CONDITIONS.

DESCRIPTION: "Shrine Pass, elevation 11,094 ft, is a mountain pass in the Sawatch Range of central Colorado. The pass is located at the northern end of the Sawatch Range, along the border of Eagle and Summit counties. Spectacular summer wildflowers, views of the Gore and Ten Mile Range and a great view of Mt. Holy Cross.

Distance- 4.2 miles roundtrip, on an in/out trail
NOTE: THIS CAN BE A SOMEWHAT STRENUOUS HIKE AT OVER 11000' FOR SOME WITH ALTITUDE ISSUES. However, you don't need to do the entire hike to enjoy this meet-up.

Trailhead Directions: From Denver, take I-70 west to exit 190. Turn left off of the exit and follow signs to Shrine Pass. More info here: US Forest Service: SHRINE MOUNTAIN TRAIL #2016
