RMOTHG MEMBERS ONLY - This is another amazing hike not to be missed!!! From the saddle between Saint Vrain Mountain and Meadow Mountain, we will have a bird's eye view of Wild Basin. A photograph cannot capture how gorgeous the view is!!! The trail is quite rocky and rooty and with the 2,400' elevation gain, I consider this hike somewhere between Moderate and Challenging for our population!!! There should be some good wildflowers. We will need high clearance vehicles to drive to this trailhead, although the road has been in pretty good shape in the past.
Required Equipment
Trekking Poles (highly recommended), 2-3 liters of water, snacks, lunch, bug repellant, sun screen/hat, rain gear, wind gear, warm layers, the rest of the 10 essentials.
