Note this is a special TUESDAY Rise & Grind.
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
On this morning's Rise & Grind we will hike to Royal Arch from the ranger cottage. The hike is expected to be 3.5 miles long and ascend 1400 feet. The trip should take approximately two hours, but allow for up to three.
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 6:35 start. Details and directions in pre-trip email.
