Easy Hiking Group

June 17, 2018 by Bob Fulton

The easy hiking group is a great way to see some of the local trails without the time and endurance required for the longer hikes. This group generally hikes between 2 and 3 miles with minimal elevation gain on the 4th Wednesday of the month year-round. After each hike we plan on having an "Après Hike" on one of the picnic sites in the park. So bring a small snack and a drink. Come join us!

IMPORTANT: In order to participate in the hiking group, each member must complete the release form. Please download the form and email a copy (scan or photo) to waivers@estesparknewcomers.org.

A Special Opportunity For Newcomers: Behind-The-Scenes Tour and Hike of Hermit Park

June 17, 2018 by Bob Fulton

The Estes Valley Land Trust has extended a special offer to Newcomers members who are also members of the Land Trust. They are sponsoring a free outing on July 12^th, which includes a hike of the new Moose Meadow or Limber Pine trails at Hermit Park. A Larimer County official will be on hand to talk about the new trails and future trail development. The Land Trust is covering the entrance fee and the fee for their annual picnic that starts at 5:30pm.

You may recall that the Estes Valley Land Trust was the featured program at the Newcomers monthly meeting this last March. If you have subsequently joined the Land Trust (or would still like to, and join online), this is an opportunity to reserve a spot for a behind-the scenes hike of some of the beautiful open spaces of Hermit Park.

Jeffrey Boring, Executive Director of the Land Trust, commented "So, you hike for a few hours, get a behind-the-scenes tour of Hermit, have a hotdog and ice cream picnic with about hundred other EVLT members and watch a raptor program. All for joining the land trust. Pretty cool day!"

We’re limiting the hike to 12 people. Once I have a final list of participants, I’ll follow up with an email with all the details."

If you’re interested in this opportunity, please contact Jeffrey at jeffrey.boring@evlandtrust.org, to register for the event.
