Need Suggestions for Short Hike Tomorrow

Post by mts4602 »

I am looking for a short hike tomorrow, maybe 6 miles max round trip. Anything in the front range, slightly farther is ok. No 14ers, the girlfriend is coming.
Being a Saturday night I don't know how much responses I will get but it's worth a shot.

Thanks

Where are you going in the Front Range? That could be anywhere from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs.

I live near Colorado Springs, and can suggest a few around here. I'll monitor this thread for the next hour or so. I did Quandary today and am pretty beat.

Oh, and GO CATS! (Lexington, KY Native).

El Dorado canyon. One of the top climbing destinations in the state, and a whole lot to see and do up there.


And it's pretty close to you.
