New & Prospective Member Hike – Red Mountain Open Space

This trip is intended as an orientation hike for new and prospective members to the Northern Colorado Group of the CMC. We will also cover basic concepts of: the process of signing up for CMC trips; Leave No Trace principals; 10 Essentials (in your pack); and risk management on CMC trips. All members are welcome to join, but priority will be given to those who are signing up for their first CMC trip or those who may have been on a limited number of CMC trips in the past but would like a refresher on these basic concepts.

Hiking – RMNP - Glacier Gorge TH - Sky Pond

We'll start at the Glacier Gorge TH in RMNP. An email will be sent out to the participant roster, and we can coordinate a carpool from there. Plan to bring snowshoes, micro-spikes, snow gaiters, insulated water bottle/bladder, water-proof boots/trail runners, poles (if you use them), winter gear, and wind layers. We will maintain a moderate pace and keep things moving to prevent excessive cool down along the way. Consider bringing hand-/foot-warmers and/or goggles, if the weather forecast dictates.
