This is an out and back hike. Most of this is on a little-used trail, and there is some Class 2+ scrambling and some steep sections to get to the highest point and to a nearby subpeak. Highlights include great views and seclusion.
This link is for the AllTrails posting for Long Scraggy Peak: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/long-scraggy-peak . We will be using a shorter more direct approach than what’s in AllTrails, but the last portion going up the north ridge is the same.
Meet at the Morrison Park and Ride (“PnR”) at 6:30am, so we can form carpools and leave no later than 6:40am. The "Morrison PnR" is at the northwest corner of the Morrison Road exit off C-470. Here’s a Google Maps link to the "Morrison PnR" : https://maps.app.goo.gl/mpG84vtWp2eCEGxU8
The trailhead is at a small parking lot at the northeast corner of Spring Creek Trail and Deckers Road (County Road 126), where the Colorado Trail crosses the highway, 12.4 miles south of US285: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YW3DyzXVaYxWNgqy9
