Shabbat
Hike:We'll be starting at the Allen's Park Trailhead
for this hike. Depending on how the group feels, we can either
do an out and back 6.2 miles hike or a full loop, which is
a bit longer.
Our
route take us through an area burned in the forest fire of
1978. The fire created stunning views of Longs Peak, Pagoda
Mountain, Chiefs Head and the mountain at the head of Wild
Basin. We will also have a fascinating look at first growth
forest with pioneering shrubs and wildflowers that are attractive
to the plentiful deer and elk.out
We'll
stop for lunch at Calypso Cascades where huge boulders catch
sprays of water.
We'll
pick just the right spot for our Shabbat service, the liturgy
carefully chosen to enhance our outdoor Shabbat worship. As
always, there will be with some time for quiet contemplation.
Finally we'll head back down the trailhead, a good 4-6 hours
after we began.
