Hiking – Deer Creek Canyon Park - Plymouth Mountain

We’ll do a tour of the trails that are reopened now that initial fire mitigation is complete. We’ll take the longer or harder routes, and go faster, to make the hike a step up from the normal Plymouth Mt. hike. Our total should be about 7.9 miles and about 1700’ elevation gain.

We’ll do a tour of the trails that are reopened now that initial fire mitigation is complete.  We’ll take the longer or harder routes, and go faster (2 - 2.5 mph steadily and sometimes steeply uphill), to make the hike a step up from the normal Plymouth Mt. hike. Our total should be about 7.9 miles and about 1700’ elevation gain.

We’ll ascend via Plymouth Creek Trail to the top, then loop around the east side on the Plymouth Mt Trail, then back up to the saddle via the Homesteader trail, adding a mile and 300’ gain. We’ll descend via Plymouth Mt Trail to Meadowlark Trail to the TH.

We'll meet at 6am at the Deer Creek Canyon Trailhead, 13388 Grizzly Drive, Littleton, CO 80127.  Restroom are at the TH.
