Meet at Northeast end of Harmony Transportation Center (HTC) for carpooling and departure at 7:00 a.m. Directions to reach the Open Space from I-25 can be found at: https://www.larimer.org/naturalresources/parks/red-mountain Google estimates one way is 39 mi., 52 min. from HTC At Red Mountain we will overview the geology and hike parts of the 3-mile Bent Rock Loop Trail. Sand Creek flows along part of this trail and there may be several water crossings, so come prepared for the possibility of wet feet. Group hikes in Red Mountain Open Space are limited to 12 individuals, so we will limit each trip to that number. If you would like to participate in either trip please RSVP, with the day and date you prefer and if you would like to be a driver for carpooling to franke129@msn.com. As soon as we reach 12 participants for either day I will notify you that registration is closed for that day. Recommendations for the outing, in addition to your camera and camera gear are: hat, sun screen and lip balm; light pack with water and a snack (no drinking water at Red Mountain); binoculars.
