Hiking – Finch Lake
a.k.a. Finch Lake via Allenspark. My favorite part about this hike is the beautiful view down into Wild Basin from a highpoint. We'll see Chief's Head, Pagoda Mountain, Meeker and Longs Peak up close and personal!!! This hike is for RMOTHG (Rocky Mountain Over the Hill Gang)

If there are enough Boulder people, we may be able to set up a carpool for them as well.
Please note: We are starting from the Allenspark trailhead, not the Wild Basin trailhead, as it is less mileage, less elevation gain and it's more scenic, yay!!!
