Please RSVP to this site if you plan to attend! This park is huge, as we get closer we will send out which trail we will hike and directions on where to meet!!!

We look forward to seeing you all there...it will be a HOWL of a great time!!!

Getting There
From the metro area, travel south on C-470 to Kipling exit. Turn west, (right) on W. Ute Avenue, then west (right) on Deer Creek Canyon Road. Turn left on Grizzly Drive, then right into Deer Creek Canyon Park.

CHAD-- DID YOU SEE THIS?

Maybe now he'll go....

Jenn!!! SPELLCHECK!!!


M-A-L-A-M-U-T-E... but I've seen the 'E' before for some reason.

Chad never goes nothing does nowhere. I'm beginning to wonder if he's real.

Hey! She spelled it right in the post... so she had a typo in the title... lay off! Negative treats for you!

C'mon! At least I waited until she did it twice (see Meets section). Yeesh, talk about negative punishment...

Hey.. I can't always be Ms. Amicable

HEY WAIT A MIN!!!!! I copied that from the guy who is running the meet so HE spelled it WRONG!!!!! but your right I did not proof read it so my bad....

Hey, you've got your typed English and I've got my garage...

I'm still trying to decide if we're in or not. But with a maximum 2,194' vertical gain, you know which trail me and doggies will be on.

Eddy what trail you talking about? I don't see anything with that big of a gain and if you're not hiking with us they you're not really on the "group Hike" I suggested doing meadowlark and looping back on Plymouth creek trail. they are still deciding what one to do. the red mesa loop looks nice put you need to hike into it first to do it, not really at the trail head. not sure how much our group likes to hike in the cold, I would be up for it.

I highlighted it in red. If it's like the trail maps on the county site here, you have to add the gain from both legs to get the total. Plus the loss added back in for the round trip total.

Yep that is the way i wanted to go if it was just me and not the group, how long do you think it would take and don't tell me its easy cause i know what that really means

HA!

Based on the fact that most ALL of that trail is horse/bike accessible, I can at least tell you there won't be any class 3 scrambling up there. That route comes out to five-ish miles round trip. Time is going to depend on conditions. Just strolling along might take three hours or so. I really don't know.

OK, here are the last minute details for our hike this coming Sunday!

Where to MEET:

We will park at the trail head parking off of Grizzly drive. We will be hiking the meadowlark trail that is hiker only and approximately1.6mil. This trail will intersect the Plymouth creek trail and we can take that back to the car and make a loop out of it, also near a stream which will make this about a 3 mile round trip hike.


What to BRING:

An unwrapped toy for Our Toys for Tots Donation on behalf of Husky Huddle and Malemute Mingle ~ Colorado

Do not forget to have water and a packable dish as well as your poop bags for your pet. Remember to dress appropriatley for the weather, have good hiking shoes and don't forget water and treats for yourself.

WE will start promptly at 12 noon! If you get lost or have questions call: Frank 719.235.7302 or Jennifer 215.917.3650

IT WILL BE A BLAST! SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!

Well, I'm not gonna make that one. My mommy can't make it, and we're partying the night before. I have to be up on the trail early or I get frustrated with falling sunlight. That and there's no way my dogs would be okay with a three mile walk. We're too intense for our own good.

Have fun though. I'm planning another Larimer County mountain in the next three weeks.

Ok let me know about the "real" hike you are doing! and you need to bring you pack to one of these meet ups cause we never have enough malamutes there! you need to show off your cool pack!

Yeah, but Coco. She's gonna snap at a dog, and I'm going to throw her down violently and everyone will feel tension and confusion about my abusive tactics. I'm not leaving her home either. The pack is a pack and everyone has eachother's back. I need at least three acres of space to ease Coco into any gathering. Unless I walk each individual dog along side of her for a greeting. What a project she has been. Not to mention how friggin' far y'all are down south. Oh, Bubba and Tambi wouldn't fit in at all.
