Rise and Grind – Boulder Open Space

Welcome to Rise & Grind – Guest Leader Edition, the CMC Boulder Group’s morning hiking and coffee series.  Our objective is to start our day off right with some exercise, good company and a little mindfulness.  In addition to the hike itself, we’ll pause up top for photos and a moment of silent reflection and set our intentions for the day.  Afterward there will be an optional stop for coffee, symbolizing a fresh start and the energy needed to conquer the day. While Christopher is offline, the Guest Leader Edition will feature various guest trip leaders.

On this morning's Rise & Grind we will hike up the Mallory Cave & Dinosaur Mountain trails, out-and-back. The hike is expected to be 3.5 miles long and ascend 1400 feet. The trip should take approximately two hours.

Please note, this is a before-work hike for some participants, so it’s important that we maintain our pace and finish promptly so folks can get to work on time.  Please know your own abilities and be considerate of the rest of the group when you sign up. 

Meet at 6:30am for a 6:35am start from the NCAR trailhead (plentiful parking!).  Additional information will be provided in pre-trip email.
