Welcome to Rise & Grind – the CMC Boulder Group’s morning hiking and coffee series.  Our objective is to start our day off right with some exercise and good company. Afterward there will be an optional stop for coffee, symbolizing a fresh start and the energy needed to conquer the day. 

Join us for this R&G hike of South Boulder Creek trail and Cherryvale trail. We’ll hike the section from rt 93 to South Boulder Rd, then hike the Cherryvale trail to the end. This out-and-back trail has excellent views of meadows and the front range. The trail has no significant elevation gain, and a well-maintained path. We’ll move at a fast pace with minimal breaks. If you want “more workout”, wear a weighted pack.

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 7am, for a 7:05am start.

We’ll meet at the trailhead just off rt 93 on Marshall Rd. Details and directions in pre-trip email.
