Orientation hike for new and prospective members. Instruction will include choosing hikes, 10 pack essentials, Leave No Trace principles, hiking pace/speed, risk management, and an overview of CMC schools and sections.
Meet at 6:30am to beat the heat.
The Apex TH is accessed by entering the parking area via a small driveway located just south of the Golden Fire Station No. 24. The Fire Station is located at 151 Heritage Rd, Golden, CO 80401, just north of the Heritage Rd x Colfax/40/93 intersection. Head all the way across the lot and park near the restrooms and TH.
Subject to roster-size and leader availability, we may split the group and offer a separate, more challenging trip for experienced hikers only: 7 miles, 1450’ gain.
