Catamount Creek Hike (or Snowshoe)

This trip to the north side of Pikes Peak will cover approximately four miles with elevation gain of approximately 600 feet. The hike will explore Central Colorado Wilderness Coalition’s candidate Pikes Peak West Wilderness and an area affected by a National Forest timber cut and Colorado Springs Utilities thinning project, while learning their conservation stories.

Participants should bring lunch, plenty of water and snacks, clothing suitable for the weather conditions, and footwear suitable for hiking on snow (cleats or other boot traction devices strongly recommended in case of icy conditions). Ski or trekking poles are also suggested. If snow conditions warrant, we may do this as a snowshoe hike.

Sorry, no dogs allowed. Maximum 10 participants. The hike is posted on multiple forums, so space is limited. A carpool or caravan from Colorado Springs will be arranged.
