Hiking buddy?
Anyone in the lakewood/golden area who likes to hike and would like to start a weekly/bi-weekly hiking group? Or maybe an exercise group at Red Rocks weekly?

Because 13ers are underrated...
Hey there fellow hikers. I wanted to share my most recent peak climbing experience. I climbed James Peak a few weeks ago, which is a 13er. Personally, while I love a good 14er, they are often crowded, and the trails are overused. I wanted to put the notion out there that 13ers are just as worthy, and in some cases more…

5-22-2012 Matthews/Winters Park Trail
My dog, Buster, and I hiked the Matthews/Winters Trail near Morrison, CO for the first time yesterday. It starts along Hwy. 93 near I-70 and goes to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. It winds through beautiful red rock formations. If you go on up to the top of the amphitheater, the trail is just under 8.5 miles round trip. By…

Hello from the Front Range
Hi there hikers! I'm new to MFP and live in the southwest Metro area. Cycling is my primary activity, but love to take advantage of the gorgeous views and terrain you get at the top of a 14er only accessible by foot. Love snowshoeing in the winter months. My husband and I really want to commit more time to hiking this…

Snowshoeing and foothill hiking is fun, but I am hurting to get up in the high country. I have made it my personal goal to climb at least 10 peaks over 12,000 feet this summer. I am already…

Trip Reports
Hey Colorado friends! I apologize for being such a slacker on this group. Partly, I have been discouraged by the lack of people wanting to join. Please feel free to invite any other Colorado hikers you know of MFP. And a big THANK YOU to those of you who have joined. Now, I thought this would be a great place to post…

Favorite Winter Hikes
Hey all. I always find it a bit funny when I hear someone say, "it's summer now, so I can go hiking again." I don't think a lot of people realize hiking is a great year-round activity, especially in Colorado. There are seemingly endless amounts of foothills trails that are perfect for those warmer winter days. Personally,…
