If we have timed it right, there will be plenty of wildflowers to see.  We will go at a comfortable pace to allow time to see the flowers. We will hike the loop in a clockwise direction.  Please plan to stay with the group.  

I will send out an email with additional information a few days before the hike.

We will meet at Wooly Mammoth Park N Ride section BB at 7:00 am for a prompt departure at 7:10 a.m.  Wooly Mammoth is located at 18560 U.S. Hwy 40, Golden, CO 80401.

From Wooly Mammoth, we will take I-70 to the Silverthorn exit.  At the exit we will take a right and go to the 7-Eleven on the right for a rest stop. 

After the rest stop, we'll head to up CO 9 north for 10 miles to Ute Park Rd.  Go 1 mile up this road to the trailhead.
