BPX Trip – 3-Day Never Summer in RMNP from Colorado River TH
This trip is for BPX members only. This backpack is in a remote section of RMNP where we will most likely see more moose than people. We see fields of wildflowers in subalpine meadows and the high alpine meadows of Thunder Pass. In the area we will see remnants of the silver mining boom years when backpacking along down the Colorado River for four miles from near its source. This is a 3-day loop trip where we will begin and end our trip at the Colorado River Trailhead.

Hiking – Upper Straight Creek TH
RMOTHG MEMBERS ONLY - Upper Straight Creek (aka "Straight Creek") hike is entirely above treeline, directly above the Eisenhower Tunnel!!! There should be lots of wildflowers along the way. The last time I hiked this (August 3rd, 2023) there were fields of Indian Paintbrush and Elephant Head as well as plenty of Purple Fringe, Whipple's Penstemon and Columbine!!! We also saw a marmot family, crazy, I'm not even kidding!!! We will have a beautiful bird's eye view to the east, looking down on a green Loveland Ski Basin, Mount Sniktau, Grizzly Peak, and Gray's & Torrey's Peaks. To the west we'll see Coon Hill up close and the Gore Range further away.
