RMOTHG Trip – Meyer Ranch Park -Sunny Aspen, Old Ski Run, Lodge Pole Loop
Another fun Meyer Ranch snowshoe or spike hike! Our pace will be "Casual Plus" - which means a steady pace and few stops. We will stop for clothing adjustments about 10 minutes up the trail (for 3-4 minutes) as well as near the high point of the hike (for 20-30 minutes, depending on weather) - and probably 1 short stop on the descent. Although technically classified as "Easy" this is a steady uphill climb for about 1.5 hrs with some steeper sections - so a good level of physical & aerobic fitness is important. Estimated round-trip time is 3 hours including breaks. Please feel free to contact trip leader with any questions or concerns you may have.
