Hey everyone, come join us for the first hike of the season! This trail is described as Medium to Difficult and is approximately 5-6 miles RT, and the elevation gain is approximately 1,100 ft. We will begin at the Chimney Gulch trail-head and continue up to Buffalo Bill’s Grave/ Lookout Mountain Park. Afterwards, we’ll plan on heading to New Terrain Brewing Co. Golden for a well-earned beer! Up a Mountain, Down a Beer is a Colorado meetup group focused on the outdoors. The meetups vary from trail hiking, to ultimate Frisbee, to Red Rocks workouts and summer events there. As the name of the group suggests, we end most if not all activities with going to grab a drink somewhere after. Learn more….
