There will be a hike on Sunday, May 30th. It is the Greenland Open Space Loop. Part of this hike is actually also the Santa Fe Trail north of Palmer Lake. It is a relatively easy 8 1/2 mile hike. Everyone is welcome on this hike! We will carpool from my house to the trail head (on County Line Road just east of Palmer Lake), see directions below. Anyone who does not think that they will be able to do the entire loop can easily do only part of the hike and go back to their car. We will leave my home at 9:00 AM.

Please bring enough water and snacks for the hike.

Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

Weather permitting, there will be a hike on Sunday, June 6th.

The hike will be Fox Run Park. This is a relatively easy hike in Black Forest with a few short steeper sections. One nice thing about this hike is it is mostly in the shade of trees. We will be leaving from my house in Gleneagle and carpooling to the trailhead. (On Roller Coaster Road between Stella Drive and Baptist Road, not far away from Reveille Drive.) We will leave my home at 10:00 AM. Directions below.

Please bring enough water and snacks for the hike.

The Pikes Peak Skeptics Society and Recovering From Religion groups are having the first of their monthly movie nights at the Gay and Lesbian Foundation.

There will be a hike on Waldo Canyon Trail on Sunday June 13th. This trail is almost 7 miles round trip and about 1300 foot elevation gain. I consider this an intermediate level difficulty hike. The trailhead parking lot is on the northeast side of highway 24 about 2 miles northwest of Manitou Springs. Meet at the parking lot at 9:15 am and the hike will start at 9:30 am.

Diane Freed will be the hiking leader and coordinator for this hike. Her e-mail address is dfeatheredfriends@hotmail.com and her phone number is: 360-3377.

Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

The Freethinkers of Colorado Springs is excited to be hosting Kristy Milligan, the Development Director and Program Manager of Citizens Project, as our guest speaker on Wednesday, June 23rd. Citizens Project (CP) began in 1992, partially in response to the passage of the ill-conceived Amendment 2, but always with an eye toward maintaining the separation of church and state, and the safeguarding of academic integrity in our public schools.
