Octo Hike – Stoney Pass - near Bailey

This is an Octogenarian (Octo) Hike for those who have aged out of normal CMC hikes, or anyone who finds CMC's traditional Easy hikes more than they want or can do. Octo Hikes are slower paced, have shorter distances, less elevation gain, and more frequent stops than typical Easy A hikes. We also normally stop for snacks at picnic tables, where available, or social lunch at a local cafe after the hike

We will hike on an old closed forest road toward our nominal destination for two hours or so, then turn around and head back to the cars. Slow pace. We may need to step over deadfall at times.

If there is interest, lunch will be at Casa Sanchez in Bailey. Please advise privately of any medical conditions or medications that could impact your hike safety.

Meetup Time: Leave at 8 am
