Participants will be given a specific meeting place and time to meet in both Denver and Estes Park at later date.  Participants from Denver will usually meet and drive up to Estes Park around 2 or 3 on the afternoon of the trip.

This is an easy snowshoe trip (probably less than 3 miles with little elevation gain) at night during a full moon.  The specific trail we will use for the trip will be decided at a later date when I have a better idea of what the snow conditions will be like.

After the snowshoe, we will head to dinner at a local restaurant before returning to Denver.  I would expect to be back in Denver around 10:30 PM.

Snowshoes and a headlamp but we try not to use our headlamps as the full moon usually provides enough light to see the trail.
