Secondary meeting at the trailhead: 9:00 a.m., The trailhead is accessed off of Highway 78/S Pine Dr. (changes names) in Beulah Valley west of Pueblo. From Highway 78 (S Pine Dr.) turn right onto Pueblo Mountain Park Road, stay right to the archery range parking lot. If you reach the main entrance to the park you've gone one road to far.
An easy way to recognize the turn for Carhart is that it's the next road just past the sign that says "Pueblo Mountain Park 1/2 mile."
Dogs welcome! Park rules require that dogs be kept on leash. Wildlife is plentiful in the park, deer, wild turkeys, mountain lions, and bears. Bring water for the pups. It is hunting season, but there is no hunting in the park.
Everyone is invited to join us for an after hike gathering back at the trailhead. Bring a chair, beverage of choice, snack/lunch, hiking stories to share.
Registration by leader.
Required Equipment
It looks like the weather will be pleasant, mid 70’s and dry. Bring the ten essentials, water, snacks, rain gear, navigation, sun protection, dog leash, and so forth.
