Octo Hike – Burning Bear Trail
This is an Octogenarian Hike for anyone wishing lower mileage, slower pace, less elevation gain and more frequent stops than a typical Easy A hike. Anyone is welcome on an Octo Hike just be aware the pace will be slower than an Easy A hike. This trip, off Guanella Pass @ Abyss TH, will go in about 2.5 miles to an old cabin, find a lunch spot and return. There will be a stream crossing.
