Hiking – Rise & Grind - Green Mountain West Ridge Trail, Boulder OSMP

Meetup time will be 5:55am, leaving at 6:00am sharp; please be on time.

Details and directions will be emailed to registered participants.

Welcome to Rise & Grind, the CMC Boulder Group’s morning hiking and coffee series.  Our objective is to start our day off right with some exercise, good company and a little mindfulness.  In addition to the hike itself, we’ll pause on the summit for a moment of silent reflection and set our intentions for the day.  Afterward there will be an optional stop for coffee, symbolizing a fresh start and the energy needed to conquer the day.

For this morning's Rise & Grind we’ll be hiking Green Mountain via the West Ridge Trail.  The route will ascend approximately 682 feet over 3.8 miles round trip.  The trip should take approximately two hours, but allow for up to three.

Please note, while this will be a easy/moderate hike, it is not designed to be a beginner trip.  This will be a before-work hike for some participants, so it’s important that we maintain our pace and finish promptly so folks can get to work on time.  Please know your own abilities and be considerate of the rest of the group when you sign up.
