We received a request last year from a group of serious Bobcat hikers for more thru-hikes, knowing they require more member planning and driving, because they are interesting. Still refining the list, but this is part of the series we plan to do this year for Bobcats, mostly on Thursdays.
The Bobcats’ mission is to ensure a variety of challenging CMC trips, mostly on weekdays, all year long, for our mostly 50+ constituents. We don’t have dues or elections and we invite ALL CMC members to sign up for any Bobcat trip. You can search the CMC Calendar for Bobcat trips any time by selecting “Bobcats Section” in the CMC Trip Search sidebar.
We send out a monthly email to our members with all the coming month’s trips, just after those trips are activated. To join our free mailing list and become a member, write office@cmc.org asking to be added to the "Bobcats Section" in your Member Profile.
We'll meet at The Fort at 6:30 to arrange carpools and for a prompt drive-away. We'll make a comfort stop along the way at Loaf N Jug. We will then drive to Geneva Creek Rd, drop cars at the Whiteside Picnic Area / Threemile TH, then drive up to Bierstadt TH to start the hike.
Required Equipment
10 essentials, lunch, waterproof boots or socks, long gaiters, layers appropriate to the weather including rain gear, hiking poles. Trimmed bread bags can be used as waterproof shoe/sock layers.
