Hiking

Hikes are easy-going, reasonably paced and typically 3-5 miles. They are either a loop or out-and-back, usually with less than 200 feet of elevation increase. Typically, we meet at a location and carpool to the trailheads. We meet every Thursday at 8:45 a.m. weather permitting to finalize plans and decide on carpools and depart at 9 am.

Jim will be leading Holey Bucket, again, since the weather will be much better this Thursday  The Holey Bucket trail is located in the Tabeguache Lunch Loop Trail System. The trail runs along the east side of a small valley below Little Park Road connecting the Holy Cross and Clunker trails.  You will see interesting earth formations.  However, since this is primarily a bicycle area, please be on watch for bicycles.  Expect a 200 foot elevation increase and about 1.5 mile.

It should be warmer, around 40F, this week and quite sunny.   Meet outside Safeway , Redlands, near the SW corner, outside Chow Down at 0845.  We will  carpool to the trailhead.

Jim is leading yet another hike (Thanks, Jim) in Kodel Canyon.  This is in Macinnis Canyon, near Devils Canyon, outside Fruita.  We will hike an interesting route around desert paths and canyons.  It will be relatively easy.  Temp around 30, and sunny, dress warmly .  We will hike around 2 hours.   Meet in Fruita at Dinosaur Journey at 0845.  We will carpool to trailhead.
