Preview - Boulder Lake Hike

Day Hike Planned for Tuesday, October 8th.

This hike is not sponsored by ACAA.  It is open to members of the High Country Hikers group and their guests.  If you are interested in joining us, be reminded that you should be willing and able to help shuttle one or more fellow hikers to the TH and back, if needed.
Boulder Lake:  One of those hikes where the payoff is worth the effort required to get there.  This shot was used for the home page banner of this blog.  See above.

We will meet at the intersection of Quincy Avenue and Parker Road.  We will be parking vehicles not required for shuttle in the parking lot on the north west corner of the intersection...between the brown Furniture Row sign and the Shell gas station.

Be at the meet site in time to leave for the TH at 7 a.m. sharp.  Be reminded this is a busy morning commuter intersection so allow plenty of time to maneuver safely through traffic.

DETAILS:
Rock Creek TH
Total Miles = 5.7
Total Elevation Gain = 1,365'
TH Elevation 9,487'

North of Silver Thorne in Eagles Nest Wilderness

Great Photo Ops. (bring your camera)

This is a classic Colorado hike that offers great landscapes, wildlife sightings, and at the end a mirror-like lake that...weather providing...reflects the beautiful snow-capped peaks of the Gore Range to the west.  Remember to pack rain gear, water, lunch and an extra insulation layer.
