Sigrid -
We had a nice morning Thursday...warm air and blue skies so even though there's lots of brown grass, it's worth getting out. This is a nice trail close to Denver. It was a little muddy in spots, and at about the one mile mark, there was a long icy stretch ahead so we turned around there. Will take a lot of warm days to melt that, but I think with yaktrax and hiking poles, you would feel pretty secure. We heard that beyond that stretch the trail was dry again. We did hike a ways up the trail, not on any map, that ascends the hills above the graveyard. I think it continues quite a distance...may be a service trail for the gas pipeline buried nearby. |
