Note, this hike has limited space and is posted on multiple forums so you MUST contact the trip leader, Jim, directly by phone or e-mail to register.

This trip to the north side of Pikes Peak will explore an area affected by a Colorado Springs Utilities’ forest thinning project and visit some “beaver dam substitutes” built to improve willow habitat and encourage beaver to return to the area. The hike will cover approximately six miles with elevation change of approximately 800 feet.

Participants should bring lunch, snacks, and plenty of water, and clothing suitable for the weather conditions including rain gear. Sorry, no dogs allowed. A carpool or caravan from Colorado Springs will be arranged.

For details or to sign up, contact Jim Lockhart at 719-385-0045 or [jlock@datawest.net](mailto:jlock@datawest.net).
