Lumpy Ridge Photo Hike
When: Thursday 5/1/2025
Meeting time: 8:00 AM at JAX Outdoor Gear located at 2665 W Eisenhower Blvd, Loveland, CO near the South East corner of the parking lot.
Note: This trip will be subject to postponement in the event of bad weather.
The Plan: We will hike West from the Gem Lake Parking lot trailhead along the Black Canyon Trail toward MacGregor Falls. Based on everyone’s desires and abilities we might make it all the way to the waterfalls but this is only an option. The round-trip distance to the waterfalls is 6.3 miles. Here is a description of the hike to the waterfalls: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/macgregor-falls-trail
I have done this hike many times during all seasons of the year and it is just gorgeous.
Along the way we will be passing below the rocks and cliffs of Lumpy Ridge. This area is an excellent area for birding, wildlife and wildflowers. It is also a major area for rock climbing activity and we might see some of that a well.
Equipment: I plan to bring a telephoto lens and a macro lens. I don’t plan to bring a tripod.
For hiking gear, be sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of water. It will be tick season so don’t wear shorts.
Lunch: Let’s plan to have lunch along the trail rather than going into town for lunch which will give us a chance to rest and allow us to be out longer.
RSVP: Please let Ed know if you plan to attend: edogle@gmail.com
