Hiking – Mt Galbraith

The Nightbird Gulch Trail is fairly rocky, but the trail is well-maintained. The trail faces the south side of the mountain so the sun can be intense in the day time hours. It is a little longer than the Cedar Gulch Trail, but offers more views of downtown Denver and the surrounding front range. There likely will be a lot of flowers. However, there is limited shade on this hike.

On a Saturday the park will be crowded, so expect a lot of hikers--but no bikers as this is a pedestrian-only park. Note: there are no restrooms on this hike. 

This is a CMC Bobcats trip, but everyone is welcome. The Bobcats’ mission is to ensure a variety of adventurous CMC trips, mostly on weekdays, all year long. Our trips tend to be faster-paced, on more challenging routes, and with fewer stops. We foster a strong community of hikers seeking challenge, discovery, and camaraderie. We don’t have dues or elections and we invite ALL CMC members to sign up for any Bobcat trip. (For more information on the Bobcats section see https://www.cmc.org/groups-sections/special-interest-sections/bobcats-section)
