There will be a hike on Sunday, June 5th on the Mount Cutler Trail. This is a relatively short hike up to the top of Mount Cutler. I would consider this a relatively easy hike except for one place on the trail where great care is required. A miss-step in that area could be fatal. There is also a trail that veers off the main trail a short distance from the top of Mount Cutler that goes to a lower overlook that is quite spectacular. The total elevation gain on this hike us somewhere around 300 to 500 feet. The parking lot at the trailhead is very small, so we will be parking offsite and carpooling to the trailhead parking lot.

We will meet at the The Starsmore Center, which is located west of the intersection of Evans Ave., West Cheyenne Blvd., North Cheyenne Canyon Road and South Cheyenne Canyon Road (which leads to Seven Falls). There are 2 parking lots near Starsmore Center, we will meet at the parking lot closest to the Starsmore Center. This parking lot is just south of South Cheyenne Canyon Road. Turn left into the parking lot immediately after passing the intersection of all these streets. We will be leaving this parking lot promptly at 10 AM. The Mount Cutler trailhead is a mile or two up North Cheyenne Canyon Road on the left.

Please bring enough water and snacks for the hike.

Due to the number of people on the hike, please let me know if you plan on attending the hike. If you change your mind, please let me know that also.
