Pikes Peak Snowshoe Saturday February 25 9:00 am – 5:00 pm This moderate 3-4 mile snowshoe trip to Horsethief Park on the west side of Pikes Peak will emphasize learning and practicing basic snowshoe techniques while enjoying the great out-or-doors in one of our National Forests. Bring lunch, water, and clothing suitable for the weather conditions. Participants will need to bring their own (or rented) snowshoes, ski poles and suitable footwear. If conditions warrant, the hike may be changed to a different location with better snow. For more information or to sign up, call Jim Lockhart at 719-385-0045.
