Hike:
Where: 4th
of July Trailhead (outside Nederland)
We'll
start at the 4th of July Trailhead, one of my favorite
front range trailheads. We'll spend a short time in
the trees, break out into open areas usually covered
with wildflowers, do a stream crossing, and maybe
cross a snow field or two as we work our way up to
Arapahoe Pass at 11,900 ft, and peer over the divide.
What:
8-10 miles. We head up to Arapahoe pass (11,900+ ft),
depending on trail conditions and weather. Please
sign up in advance, as possible last minute change
in trails is possible if conditions change. If you
have a higher clearance vehicle and are willing to
drive, please come to the meeting location with a
full tank of gas.
When:
August 12, 2012
We will meet in Boulder at 6 am, begin hiking at 7
a.m. and intend to be back at the cars by 3 or 4 p.m.
Suggested
equipment: Plenty of water, lunch & snacks,
sunscreen, rain gear, layers, waterproof boots, &
poles (We might be crossing some snow fields here
and there)
Fee:

all others $22 per hike or (Late fee of + $5/hike,
begins 7 days before before the hike)

Who
Should Sign Up?
To come on this trip you must be in strong
physical condition and able to hike at a sustained
pace on an adventure which will last up to 8 hours.
(If you are in "Boulder" shape, you'll be
fine. This won't be as hard as a peak climb. But,
for people that don't get out much, it would be hard.
Call us if that doesn't make sense!)
You must be willing to work with a group. We are unable
to accommodate dogs or children under 16.
Please
do not show up at the trailhead without advanced registration.
Participants must speak to Jeff
or have been on hikes with us before to be eligible
for this trip.
We require 10 pre-registered participants to run this
