The Hiking Group (HG) is a great way to get exercise, enjoy the Colorado mountains, meet new people, and visit with old friends. The HG is organized as follows:

• Hikes are generally scheduled on Fridays, beginning at 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. Occasionally, a different time or day may be selected because of weather or other factors.
• Hikes will be planned for the intermediate capable hiker on moderate trails ranging from 4-8 miles roundtrip, with typical elevation changes of 500-1,500 feet. Many hikes may be too strenuous for beginners or people with health- related issues.
• During the middle of the summer, we’ll try to organize many hikes into the “high country”. For example, we can hike in Summit County or on Berthoud Pass, etc.
• In order to spread the fun, each group member will be expected to lead at least one hike per year. A couple joining is expected to lead two hikes during the season. The Activity Leaders can provide hiking suggestions if needed.
• The Activity Leaders use an online scheduling system for ease of participation and communication. ​
• HG hikers will be personally responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local rules and regulations for each hiking area (pets, litter, trail etiquette, etc.). ​

Please contact the Activity Leaders to join the group and with any questions, comments, or suggestions.
