Aurora Hiking Group Patch

Patch design is based on input provided by group members.  An electronic version of the patch was developed by the City of Aurora graphics department.   

The group of over age 50 men and women is based at the Aurora Center for Active Adults, located at 6th Avenue and Del Mar.

The 3 1/2" diameter cotton stitched patch has a forest green background representing the many forest areas this group hikes throughout the front range.  The patch has an outer band with a solid black perimeter.  Inside the band on the top half of the arc is the name of the group, also in black.  The bottom of the arc lists the groups' base, Aurora, Colorado.  These letters are stitched in gold much like the Aurora City logo.

Between the top and bottom arcs at the left side of the patch is a generic day pack.  At the right side is a pair of crossed trekking poles.  The outer band is separated from the core of the patch by another solid line of black stitching.

The core of the patch represents what the group is all about.  A generic hiker is standing beside an alpine lake because many times the hike destination is a lake.   In the background is a series of spruce and pine trees followed by a number of high mountain peaks and snow-capped summits.  The sky is clear blue, representing what HCH members experience most days on trail.

Patches are available to core members.  A core member is someone who has hiked with the group a minimum of three hikes.

Cost = $9.00 each
