This is a great hike to a beautiful hidden area of the park. At present we most likely will not need snowshoes, but microspikes are required (although I did not use them this last Friday). We will need drivers, depending on the amount of participants, that have a CO State Park pass to get in the park. Dress in layers and have food/water for a hike of about 4 to 5 hours. This is an out and back to get more miles and elevation, but there is a cut off to lessen the miles a time depending on the group. Moderate pace. Email me with questions. 

We will meet at the Twin Forks/285 (Tiny Town) PNR at 7:45 and leave from there. This is the PNR station on 285 heading south that is on the left hand side of the road after Indian Hills.
