About this event
Participants desiring to carpool or caravan, meet at the Safeway parking lot between 9:00 - 9:30am on Academy, near where the turnoff south on CO 115 is located. For participants driving directly to the trailhead, head south on CO 115 from Academy, continuing for about 16 miles, to Turkey Canyon Ranch Road. This is just past Post 32. Turn right onto Turkey Canyon Ranch Road. The trailhead parking area is only about 300 yards further. Plan to arrive by 10:00 AM.
This will be our last hike of the season and has become a post Thanksgiving Sno-Jet tradition. The trail is a loop that passes through various scenic ecosystems, and is a bit less than 4 miles with a very modest elevation gain of 380 ft. It is suitable for all hikers. Dogs are not allowed on this trail. As always, bring water, snacks, and extra layers of clothing if needed. In case of snow/ice necessitating cancellation, all signups will receive an email by 7:30 AM that morning if the hike is cancelled.
