Hi Freethinking Hikers,

There may be a hike on Sunday, March 9th depending on the weather.

If it does occur, the hike will be the Columbine Trail, which starts from the Starsmore Center and heads west towards Helen Hunt Falls in Cheyenne Canyon. The difficulty level of this hike is a little more difficult than Waldo Canyon Trail and is about 12 miles round trip. You do not have to do the entire hike and can decide individually or in small groups how far you want to go up the trail. The Starsmore Center, 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 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. Sunday is the first day of daylight saving time. So we need to set our clocks ahead 1 hour before we go to sleep Saturday night. With that in mind, we will start the hike at 10 AM.

If you want to be added to the list of people who are informed about the status of this hike, please call 594-4506 or email hike@freethinkerscs.com and give me your name, phone number and email address.
