RMOTHG Trip – Burning Bear Trail
This 5 mile / 1000 ft elevation gain snowshoe starts & ends in Geneva Park off of Guanella Pass Rd - with stunning views of snow-capped peaks across an expansive meadow. Moose are not an infrequent sight here. The trail through dense forest will protect us from high winds as we trek to the ruins of an old cabin for lunch (and our turn-around spot). Pace will be steady & brisk.

Enjoy ~10 miles and 3.9'k of gain while following a flowing and frozen creek, wonderful views of Clear Creek Canyon, the snow capped ranges, and Denver while staying mostly out of the wind. Out and back on trail.

Ascending Hikes - Seasonal Fitness – Matthews/Winters Park
We'll enjoy an atypically warm day as we hike in Matthews-Winters Park. We may encounter some muddy trail conditions from last week's snowfall. I anticipate we'll enjoy the relative park quiet as we develop our seasonal conditioning.
