on the way to Golden Gate Canyon State Park

Happy Hiking: Raccoon Trail

On the recommendation of a friend, I visited Golden Gate Canyon State Park to hike Raccoon Trail.  After all, there is likely a reason it is named “Golden”.  The state park includes several trails and features many golden aspen trees. 

HAPPY HIKING!

Happy Hiking: Mount Princeton

I recently tackled my fourth fourteener of the summer, or should I say the first of the fall, upon summitting Mount Princeton with my friend Cat and Tanya. We selected Mount Princeton to celebrate Tanya’s final summit in the Sawatch range. 

HAPPY HIKING!

Roadtrip to the Rockies: Trail 600 AKA South Park Trail

I hesitate to write about this trail, as this particular segment of Trail 600 also known as South Park Trail, is not on the All Trails App.  As a result, this seven-mile out-and-back hike close to Denver alludes crowds. While the entire length of South Park Trail is around 12 miles, there are three places where it may be accessed.

GO HIKING!
