Rocky Mountains

We'll do a 2-4 hours hike where we'll enjoy some sunshine, see pretty views, maybe see wildlife, take a few snack and water breaks, learn about the wildflowers and trees, make new friends, get some exercise and breathe in the fresh mountain air! In the winter months, we'll provide "Yak Traks" that you put on your shoes to improve the traction on ice and snow.The hike will be easy to moderate for people in good physical shape, but it can be very challenging for people who do not exercise regularly and are not used to altitude. The hike will take place in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver, NOT in Rocky Mountain National Park. The elevation will be somewhere between 6,000 and 12,000 ft.
