We will meet at 9:00am at the Arapahoe Cherry Creek Trailhead, 14460-15136 E Arapahoe Rd, Centennial, CO 80112 https://maps.app.goo.gl/mH73dm1BwYRn11QG6 We will carpool to our starting spot, Bar CCC Park & Reservoir parking lot, 18962 S Twenty Mile Rd, Parker, CO 80134.
Because the DOT Segments are located further east now and it's a longer drive for some to get to the trailhead, some have asked about carpooling closer to home. If you would prefer that, we can coordinate a carpool from the Hampden Park N Ride, 3599 S Wadsworth Blvd., Denver, CO 80235.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CARPOOLING WITH OTHERS FROM THE PnR, PLEASE INDICATE SO IN YOUR REGISTRATION NOTES. I will confirm these details in my pre-hike email.
The DOT is a walking route that makes a full circle around Denver. We will walk on the Cherry Creek Trail for the whole segment. This route is exploratory for the trip leaders.
