Hi Hiking Freethinkers,

The hike this Saturday will be Bear Creek Trail to Jones Park. This is a relatively difficult hike with a significant elevation gain.

To get there from Highway 24 and 26th Street, head south on 26th Street. In about 1 1/2 miles the road turns into Bear Creek Road. Continue on Bear Creek Road. In about 1 mile, Bear Creek Road dead ends and High Drive continues. High Drive is a one way road going north (do not enter). Also, at that location Gold Camp road crosses (again) and continues up. Make a U turn and park on the east side of Bear Creek Road just south of the end of High Drive. We will leave the parking area at 9:00 AM.

Due to the number of people on the hike, it is extremely useful to me if I know who plans on attending the hike. Also, there is a good chance that there will be snow and ice on the trail.
