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, 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.
This morning's Rise & Grind will climb to Mallory Cave and higher up Dinosaur Mountain. The route will ascend approximately 1,400 feet over 3.5 miles round trip. The trip should take approximately two hours.
6:30am at NCAR Trailhead. Plentiful parking!
