What we’re about
Hello!
Sometimes it seems like there is a gap in hiking groups: groups that do really easy things or groups that are much more challenging. I am planning to keep this a little more intermediate. Some hikes will be more advanced hikes, but done at a bit slower pace. This is a group to enjoy the out doors and get to know your fellow hikers. As I do like to get away from the crowds, hikes will be 1-2 hrs away but, hey, I live near Pine so this is for the Denver/Boulder folks.
I tend to lead hikes south of Mt. Falcon near Morrison at this time. I also host the Colorado Target Shooting and Co-host the Denver PrepperNet groups.
Things to know:
Intermediate group- anywhere from 4 to 10ish miles, may or may not be a trail, elevation gain/loss will vary but can be considerable, we go out to eat after, do plan most of your day for this. I will usually meet with the group at local eatery at the conclusion of the hike.
^We are not a run to the top group. We are out there to enjoy the sights, laugh lots, and take photographs. However there is a wide range and speeds and abilities. I want you to be comfortable and enjoy your hike. Be aware of your abilities.
^Well trained and friendly dogs will be very welcome. I often look for hikes where they can be off leash, so that is usually in National Forests. I bring cookies ;-)
^While children are not excluded, there may be adult language and conversation on the trail.
^You are responsible for bringing your own supplies, gear, traction footwear, water, first aid, and snacks. While this group is amazing about sharing, being prepared will make it a much more comfortable and enjoyable trip for you.
In this age of COVID-19 please take care to make yourself safe. I am all about personal responsibility and self safety. What precautions that you take are up to you!! Obviously, if you're sick stay home.
I look so forward to walking next to you!!
