Ascending Hikes - Seasonal Fitness – Hells Hole
This is usually a straight forward out and back from West Chicago Creek Campground to an expansive glacial cirque. Given the goofy winter it would be a good idea to bring spikes just in case. Prior to the hike please review the 2026 Members Guide to Ascending Hikes and bring a goal you want to address.

Hiking – Reynolds Park
DOGGIE HIKE: Dogs welcome, but not required. We will hike the Elkhorn-Eagles View Loop. Lots of beautiful views. Please answer the question about whether you are bringing a dog as Jeff Co allows only "12 heartbeats" under the CMC permit.

Ascending Hikes – Mayhem Gulch
Ascending Hikes Section (AHS): We'll follow a lollipop route along the Mayhem Gulch Trail, with a steady climb through a sunlit canyon of grasses and shrubs before branching onto the Juniper Loop. The loop winds across open hillsides with sweeping views of Clear Creek Canyon and forested ridges above. Returning via Mayhem Gulch, the trail closes the loop with a gentle descent back to the trailhead. This is the first in a summer series of AHS hikes.
