DAY HIKES for a moderate outing
Sangre de Cristo mountains, where the Rockies start
These hikes are great for going deeper into the wild, at higher elevation, more trail distance, and for more time in nature. For solo hikers, couples, small family & friend parties, to larger groups. On-trail time is 3 to 4 hours and ample energy snacks are offered at a mid-hike break. Morning starts are best, but afternoon hikes can also be arranged. Advance scheduling is appreciated. Short notice arrangements often work, so don’t hesitate to text Brian for current availability.
