Hiking – White Ranch Park

Meet in the White Ranch East Trailhead parking lot, 21827 W 56th Ave, Golden 80403, at 8:15am.  We will plan to begin hiking promptly at 8:30am.

Outhouses are available at the trailhead parking lot.

Pace is casual plus.  We won't be setting any speed records, but we will plan to move at a steady pace with minimal breaks.

Depending on trail conditions and the pace of the group, this hike may take up to seven hours.  Our goal will be to complete the hike and return to the trailhead by 4pm at the latest.  Do, however, be prepared for the unexpected and plan for the possibility that this may be a longer outing.

Bring your 10 essentials, trekking poles, plus sufficient water, snacks, lunch, and appropriate layers for a variety of weather conditions.

Keep an eye out for a pre-trip email with additional details on Wednesday 5/7.
