We are excited to partner with Gilpin Parks & Rec to host a FREE guided hike summer series!

The series will explore three areas in in our gorgeous mountains: Axton Ranch (June 25), Golden Gate Canyon State Park (July 31), and Maryland Mountain (August 27). Hikers will learn about local flowers, trees, and other natural features, log steps, enjoy fresh mountain air, and socialize with neighbors.
