General The Hikes Trip Classification Hikers Hiker Dos and Don'ts What to Bring Contact Bob
* We visit some of the most scenic places in the area: mountains, lakes, creeks, waterfalls, rock formations and more. * We visit County and City Parks & Open Space, State Parks, National Forests, Indian Peaks & Rocky Mountain National Park. * We hike on almost every Sunday of the year. Some hikes are schedules for other days. * The Sunday hikes most always meet at 9am. * The hikes vary with the weather and season. * The Sunday summer hikes may start earlier, may be longer and be to more exotic locations. * The Sunday summer hikes return time is usually mid to late afternoon. Later for long hikes. * On some Sunday hikes Group A will do a shorter hike. In winter all the hikes are at lower elevations and closer to Bouldler. * Short thunder storms occur in the summer. The clouds travel west to east. They are localized and pass over quickly. * We seldom get rained on. Usually by the time we get to the trail the clouds are usually off to the east. * If the clouds are evident at the trailhead we may wait in the car until they pass. * Sometimes the leader may change a hike to a less cloudy area. * Hiking goals may be abandoned or changed if weather, lightning, ice or other conditions warrant. * If a sudden storm approaches then leave summit and rock tops immediately even before putting on raingear. TRIP CLASSIFICATION * Beginners should start with the easy hikes. easy - hikes on flat ground, or minimal elevation gain on trails that last up ot 90 minutes. easy/moderate - longer hikes with more elevation gain. moderate - longer hikes with moderate elevation gain and possible cross country We sometimes do more difficult hikes.

Let the leader lead! * If you are falling behind, want to stop or want to leave the group CALL OUT and let the leader and the group know your wishes. * Do not crowd the person in front of you and stay back at least 4' from the person in front of you on steeper sections. * Please warn the person behind you of some difficulty on the trail. * Never take off on your own and this includes in storms because this will cause the group to have to look for you. * When lightning is present the leader may stop hiking and have the group lay low until the threat passes. * We will stop for some special overlooks, lunch and snack breaks and bathroom breaks. Don't continue alone. * Do know the general plan of the hike. Keep track of the route. What is the final destination? * Do keep track of your driver and where the car is parked. * Be properly equipped for the trip planned. * It is better to come on a Sunday when you don't have something planned after the hike.
