All Trails Info: Twin Owls, Black Canyon, Cow Creek, and Gem Lake Loop

At the very least, I'd like to hike Gem Lake (3.2 mile RT). If I'm feeling up to it, I'd also like to try for the whole loop. (see above info and trail map below.) If I'm really feeling up to it, I'd also like to catch McGregor Falls.

As you can see this is a hike with options. We can decide those options at the trail head and/or on the trail.

I'm setting this up as a conditioning hike, as I've only been out once this season and I know I need it! LOL!

Make sure you bring some spikes. I'm guessing there may still be some snow on the Black Canyon Trail. Best to be prepared. And of course, bring snacks and enough water for a possibly 10+ mile hike.

Carpool Info: If you're in the Denver area and would like to carpool, message me and we'll arrange somewhere to meet. I can take 3 others (4 if you want to be cozy)
