Hiking – Ouzel Falls
This hike to Ouzel Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park begins at the Wild Basin Trailhead, following a well-maintained path alongside North St. Vrain Creek through a forested valley. Early highlights include Copeland Falls and Calypso Cascades, offering scenic water features before a steady, moderate climb deeper into the basin. At about 2.7 miles, Ouzel Falls provides a rewarding destination, with its powerful cascade framed by rugged terrain and dense subalpine forest. This hike is specific for Group 21 in Wilderness Trekking School.

Hiking – Green Mountain by Bailey
LIT trip for Tyler Adkins Green Mountain Trail near Buffalo Creek is a smooth, rolling singletrack loop with a mix of gradual climbs, short punchy hills, and scenic foothill views. The trail begins with a steady climb through pine forest and continues to gain elevation in a very manageable way—nothing overly steep, but it does build over time, so come prepared with water and a snack.
