\ Kindred Reserve is a city park located next to Tiara Rado Golf Course. It is fairly new. In the past, everyone seemed delighted in the easy, level hike. We will see views of the majestic Colorado National Monument, a stream, a woodland, and a peaceful lake. It is about 2 miles, accounting for some backtracking, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

In order to allow for daytime warmup, and following suggestions from the survey, we will meet Thursday at 1000 AM, at the specially marked parking lot at 2064 S. Broadway. The lot is just West of the driving range parking lot. To get there go South on Redlands Parkway (Think 24 Road) until it turns into South Broadway.

For this week, here is one of the all-time favorites for this group: Rustlers Loop. This McInnis Canyon area hike has great views of the cliffs high above the Colorado River. It is about 3.5 miles and about 100 foot elevation gain, one of our easiest and fun for all. Meet in Fruita at Dinosaur Journey Museum, East side of the parking lot at the later time of 10:00. We will carpool to the trailhead. Even though we will start late, the temperatures will be in the 30s with full sun. Dress warmly. Maybe afterward, we can eat at the award-winning Fruita restaurant, Munchies. Up to you...
