11/20/11 - Public Road Trail Head

In Lafayette.  Not really a hike.

10/30/2011- Royal Arch

Hiked from Chautauqua Park.  The trail was very slippery with packed snow.  Very high traffic trail.

11/6/2011 - South Boulder Peak

This was a tough one. 7 Ish miles.  From the Mesa Trailhead off 170.  Took Townee Trail to Shadow Canyon trail.  Didn't bring enough food/water for this hike.  Windy on top of South Boulder Peak - able to see parts of Boulder, but mainly continental divide/denver area.  This is a painful knee hike.

11/13/2011- Eldorado Canyon

Eldorado Canyon State Park (up Rt 170 from 93)  dead end in town of Eldorado Springs.  We hiked the Eldorado Canyon Trail.  At end of trail, there is a good view of Denver through the walls of the canyon.  Train route on opposing canyon wall. Overall an easy hike.

Easy-ish hike because it is largely on jeep road. Pretty steep overall, trail very icy. Took 2.5 Hours.
