SUMMARY:Single Tall Pole Hiking – Mt Galbraith
DTSTART:20260713T060000Z
DTEND:20260714T055900Z

 er traction)\, which makes your backcountry travel easier\, safer\, an
 d more enjoyable.

SUMMARY:Ascending Hikes – Mount Morrison
DTSTART:20260714T060000Z
DTEND:20260715T055900Z
DESCRIPTION:Ascending Hikes Section (AHS): Mount Morrison is the bigge
 st\, baddest\, rough and tumble\, slog of a hike in the Denver Mountai
 n Park system.  It also may be the most exciting\, most fun\, and most
  scenic trail in the system as well. This relatively short hike up to 
 the summit of Mount Morrison includes about 2000 ft of elevation gain.
  Mount Morrison is one of the most prominent peaks of Denver’s Front R
 ange and its summit and foothills offer awesome vantage points of the 
 other snowcapped mountains to the west and the Denver Metro area to th
 e east. This is the fifth in a summer series of AHS hikes.
