This hike is thru a heavy forested area after leaving S. Boulder Creek until reaching the lower lake where the views will begin to open up. Traversing the south side of the lake we will continue another 1/2 mile to the upper lake and a great view of the continental divide . The entire route is a steady uphill with a steeper section just prior to the first lake.
We will do a loop hike up past the Palmer Lake Reservoirs and down through Limbaugh Canyon, with a detour to a nice overlook in the middle.
We'll do a series of interconnecting trails for around 6 miles and around 1,500' elevation gain. We'll go to the Scenic View Overlook which will roughly be our mid-way point. We'll have a snack and then descend.
