Hiking – Colorado Trail
Another brisk Bobcat Thru Hike, on Colorado Trail Segment 5 from Kenosha Pass to the Long Gulch TH. If a sufficient number join the wait list, we can consider a key exchange, with a group hiking in the opposite direction. Join and stay on the wait list, if necessary, until we figure things out.

The primary hike is from Kenosha Pass to the Long Gulch TH, about 1700' gain. From Long Gulch to Kenosha Pass, the gain is about 1600.' Please indicate below in the notes section which direction you wish to hike. Not binding, just to give us an idea.
We received a request last year from a group of serious Bobcat hikers for more thru-hikes, knowing they require more member planning and driving, because they are interesting. Still refining the list, but this is part of the series we plan to do this year for Bobcats, mostly on Thursdays.
The Bobcats’ mission is to ensure a variety of challenging CMC trips, mostly on weekdays, all year long, for our mostly 50+ constituents. We don’t have dues or elections and we invite ALL CMC members to sign up for any Bobcat trip. You can search the CMC Calendar for Bobcat trips any time by selecting “Bobcats Section” in the CMC Trip Search sidebar.
We send out a monthly email to our members with all the coming month’s trips, just after those trips are activated. To join our free mailing list and become a member, write office@cmc.org asking to be added to the "Bobcats Section" in your Member Profile.
We'll meet at the southern end of The Fort's dirt parking area at 6:00 for a prompt drive-away. We will know by then if this is a Car Shuttle or a Key Exchange and we'll arrange carpools accordingly. Bring an extra key if you are willing to let someone else drive your car so they can lock it at the other TH. We'll trade back when we meet in the middle for lunch.
Required Equipment
10 essentials, layered clothing appropriate to the weather, lunch. Lots of open trail so wear sunscreen.
