Rocky Flats Trail Dayhike
Saturday, February 7, 2009

Brief Description: The hike on Rocky Flats Trail #100 is rated moderate but don't let that fool you. You can expect some up-hill climb at the beginning for about one-half mile to a mile. There may be a couple more short up-hills further along in the hike. Its not greater than a 20 percent grade, though. For those who don't like up-hill or have difficulty with ups and downs this hike is not recommended. I feel it's a nice trail with some interesting features along the way. It is a gorgeous area with a lot of beauty, even in the winter. This is a nice winter hike, nice and short, 4.5 miles. Expect some water crossings, nothing major. Bring a snack/lunch. We will be doing a car shuttle. Car pooling is recommended but we will need enough vehicles for the shuttle.
