Fall Hike at Chief Mountain
Details
Chief Mt is an awesome hike!
It offers amazing views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Hiking up through the pines of the Arapaho National Forest, you will reach a break in the trees and the short and steep
trek will reward you with 360 vistas. Prominent peaks such as Pikes and Longs are easily visible. The path is rocky, well maintained, and well marked.

NOTE: Due to the increase in Meetup fees (annual groups are now $300 to run), I am requesting a $2 contribution from participants who can afford it (donation is not required to participate and no one will be turned away). Funds go toward the cost of hosting the group. Cash or venmo is preferred.
FINE PRINT: This is a social hike. Not a guided hike. Everyone is responsible for their own safety, fitness level, and decision making. Please come prepared and know your limits. By signing up for any events, you agree to take sole responsibility for your own safety and absolve Outdoorsy LGBTQ+ organizers of any liability.
