A contemplative, intentional hike through aspen groves, pine trees, creeks and points of historical interest. Along the way, we'll engage our senses as we immerse ourselves in nature, taking several pauses for reflection.
Afterwards will be an optional stop for coffee /tea/lunch at Nederland General Store and for those who never been a stop at the Carousal of Happiness. A carousal of hand-carved animals on a restored merry-go-round, with a 1913 Wurlitzer organ.
*Predications are being made that aspen leaves will be changing earlier than last year so hopefully we will see some of those golden aspen trees!
We will meet at 8:30 for a 8:40 start.
The trail starts from the Caribou Ranch Open Space Parking and Trailhead.
Details and directions will be emailed to registered participants.
