This is a challenging hike with some steep sections and loose rock. Leader permission is required -- if we have not hiked together please contact me by email or text (719-744-7840) and let me know what hikes you have completed in the last few months.
The meeting place will be the NE corner of the Pueblo City Park pool (221 S Parkside Ln, Pueblo, CO 81005) at 7:30am. From there we will carpool or caravan to the Lewis Creek Trailhead, approximately 3 miles west of Wetmore just off Hwy 96. Alternatively, meet at the trailhead at 8am. The parking area is about 1/2 mile from Hwy 96 via a dirt road. A high clearance vehicle is suggested. If your plans change please let me know by text at 719 744 7840.
As always, the trip begins and ends at the trailhead.
Required Equipment
