Palmer Park Redux + Black Bear Diner

Hi everyone! If you joined us for the August Palmer Park hike, you know it was HOTTTTTTTT!

Now that Colorado has begun to show its fall weather, let's try again!

Fresh air. Good people. Dogs living their best lives. This is your sign to log off, lace up, and come touch some nature with us!

We are hitting the easy/moderately chill 2.9-mile Mesa and Yucca Trail Loop that’s perfect for everyone from “I hike every weekend” to “I mainly came for the post-hike lunch.” No speed records, no pressure — just a fun, social pace with plenty of stops for photos, water, and dramatic “look at this view” moments.
📍 Where to find us:
Palmer Park (Yucca Flats Trailhead parking area)
Park and wait for the group in dirt parking lot by red circle.

🐶 All ages. Dog friendly. Family friendly.
Yes, your kids can come. Yes, your dog can come. Yes, your friend who “isn’t really a hiker” can come too.
🍔 Not a hiker? Join for lunch anyway.

Around 9:30am to 10am we roll over to Black Bear Diner!
You are 100% welcome to:
✔ hike + lunch
✔ hike only
✔ lunch only
✔ show up and pretend you hiked
This is one of those classic days where you meet new people, see familiar faces, and accidentally end up making Sunday your favorite day of the week!

Bring: water, comfy shoes, your dog (optional but highly encouraged), and your “I go outside sometimes” personality.
