CHOOSE YOUR HIKE

Both groups will begin together on Mesa Trail before splitting into two routes:

SCALED — Approx. 90 Minutes
A shorter, more relaxed option following Mesa Trail to Greenlee before looping back around to Mesa Trail. A great choice if you want to get outside, enjoy the scenery, and spend some time on the trail without committing to the full three-hour route.

RX — Approx. 180 Minutes
Ready for a bigger adventure? The RX group will branch north via Quarry Pass and connect to Sand Canyon, Intemann, Lion, and Red Rock Rim Trail for a longer and more challenging Colorado hike.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Beautiful red-rock scenery, classic Colorado trails, elevation changes, and plenty of opportunity to move and connect with others. Choose the route that best fits the adventure you’re looking for!

WHAT TO WEAR
Comfortable, weather-appropriate athletic clothing and good hiking or trail shoes. Colorado weather can change quickly, so layers are recommended.

WHAT TO BRING
Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses or a hat, and a small backpack if desired. RX hikers should be especially prepared with enough water for approximately three hours on the trail.

WHEN YOU FINISH
There will be no formal gathering at the end of the hike. Once your group finishes its route, you’re free to head out and enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
