We will start at the Glacier Gorge TH (if there is space, otherwise the Bear Lake TH) and snowshoe into Glacier Gorge to visit scenic Mills Lake, and then use a series of trails to complete the loop via Dream, Nymph and Bear Lakes.
The meeting time and place will be communicated a few days before the trip, but expect to leave south Fort Collins about 7 am. Alternatively, participants may choose to meet the group at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center parking lot about 8:15.
