All participants meet at the Legacy Loop Plaza parking lot between 8:00-8:15a. The address is 1800 Recreation Way, CS CO, 80907.To get there, take Uintah west to Glen Ave. Turn right before I-25, at the 7-11. Follow the road, which briefly goes East on W San Miguel St, then north on Recreation Way to the Legacy Loop parking lot. If coming from the other direction, take Centennial Blvd East from I-25 to the intersection with Recreation Way, then go south to the Legacy Loop parking lot.

This hike is suited for all hikers, with negligible elevation gain. Dogs are allowed on leash. We will hike just a section of Shooks Run, beginning at the intersection of Corona St and Columbia St. There is a playground and E-bike stand there, with angle parking, which is likely to be limited so we are carpooling to this starting spot. We will hike about 2 miles south, then return the same way. The hike is another described in "Easy Hikes - Hidden Past" by Shockley & Jones. The hike will be leisurely, with several stops for a brief history lesson on Colorado Springs, as per the book. Depending on the length of pauses, it should take at most about 2 hours

As always, bring plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen which will likely be needed.
