Hiking – RMNP - Mt. Chapin, Mt Chiquita, Ypsilon Mountain (The CCY)
This challenging hike is a chance to bag 3 summits in Rocky Mountain National Park in a single day. Two of the 3 are over 13,000 feet. Climbing the trifecta of 12,454-foot Mt. Chapin, 13,069-foot Mt. Chiquita and 13,514-foot Ypsilon Mountain is one of the classic hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park. The amazing panoramic views from the three peaks along the "CCY Route" are some of the best in the park.

Bobcats trip – Butler Gulch
Abandoned Sites Hike: This EXPLORATORY HIKE ventures deep into Butler Gulch to investigate the remains of the historic Jean Mine and other scattered relics from Colorado’s mining era. Traveling through a landscape shaped by more than a century of mineral exploration, we will search for abandoned structures, mine workings, equipment remnants, and evidence of the boom-and-bust communities that once occupied these high mountain valleys. The route combines moderate hiking with off-trail exploration and historical interpretation, offering a unique opportunity to examine how mining transformed the Front Range while enjoying the dramatic alpine scenery surrounding Butler Gulch.
