Training Hike & Lunch

I'm going to do a training hike on Mt Morrison by Red Rocks this Saturday morning. Anyone want to join for that and/or lunch afterward to swap stories and talk about hiking plans? If you just want to meet after the hike, let's do Switchback Smokehouse in Evergreen / Kittredge at 11am.

If you haven't done Mt Morrison before, it's a short and steep hike with very few trees ... sounds miserable, right?! But it's right on the edge of Denver and provides an efficient workout. We may not stick together - we can decide by pace so everyone gets the training that they want. Bring plenty of water and sun protection, but leave the dog at home - not allowed on this trail.

I'll be in the parking lot (Mt Morrison South Ridge Trailhead) at 8am and start at 8:30. I will do the hike with a weighted pack so it will take me about 2h round trip. Fast hikers / runners can do it in 1:30 or less and might want to start later (or earlier & do 2 laps) - just let me know. After regrouping, we can head for lunch at 11.
