Hiking – A high 13er, Square Top Mountain provides 360 degree expansive views. About a 7-mile round trip hike, with an elevation gain of ~2,450 feet.

This is a Bobcats hike. Square Top is much less crowded than nearby Mount Bierstadt. The lower part of the trip is on trail and the upper part is off trail. The route is all above timberline, and often is windy. Be sure to bring warm clothes and plenty of water.

Who are the Bobcats?

The Bobcats’ mission is to ensure a variety of challenging CMC trips, mostly on weekdays, all year long, for our mostly age 50+ constituents. We don’t have dues or elections and we invite all CMC members to sign up for any Bobcats trip.

The Bobcats publish an email newsletter on the 15th of each month, which includes the upcoming month’s trips that have just been opened for registration. You can subscribe to this newsletter in the Email Newsletter Preferences section of your CMC Profile.

We will meet at Wooly Mammoth Park and Ride, section BB, across from the Exxon gas station, at 6:00 AM so we can form carpools for the drive to the trailhead. We will leave at 6:05.  Here’s a Google Maps link to Wooly Mammoth: Wooly Mammoth Park-N-Ride · 18560 US-40, Golden, CO 80401
