Hiking – Mud Lake

Please bring the usual...water, lunch, ID, medical card, personal first aid kit and gear for changing weather. Please notify leader of any medical conditions that may impact your hike.

Also bring water and snacks for your happy dog. CMC Denver Group official dog hikes policy states that we adhere to all pertinent leash laws. Please keep dog on leash at all times. Dogs must have vaccinations up to date. Dog owners are solely responsible for their dog's good behavior and any liability arising from their dog's behavior. Trip leader may excuse a hiker and dog if dog's behavior is not friendly and safe. Please see: cmcdenver.org/groupresources/denver-group-dog-hikes-policy.

We will eat lunch at covered tables at the end of hike.

At this time of year we should enjoy Aspen color on Peak to Peak highway. If hikers and dogs are doing well we can add a bit more mileage.
