Winter’s not over, yet – at least not in the mountains! On Saturday, March 12th, we’ll meet at the church at 8:00 a.m. to carpool and then head up to Rocky Mountain National Park for a snowshoe trip (Or you can meet us at the trailhead at 9:30 a.m.!)

We’ll be snowshoeing up to Dream Lake.

Here are the details:

Date: March 12th
Time: 8:00 a.m. Church parking lot or 9:30 a.m. Bear Lake Trailhead
Trail Head: Bear Lake
Elevation Gain: 450 Ft
Distance (round trip): 2.2 miles
Approx drive time from downtown Fort Collins: 1 hour 15 minutes

Directions to the Trailhead:
From the RMNP Beaver Meadows Visitor Center on US 36, drive west 1.1 miles to the Beaver Meadows Entrance Station. Pass the kiosk (RMNP pass required) and continue .2 mile to Bear Lake Road. Turn south (left) and drive 9.2 miles to the huge Bear Lake parking lot.

Bring snacks and/or a lunch. We’ll meet down at Coffee on the Rocks for lunch. You can order hot drinks, panini’s and sometimes soup: 510 Moraine Ave, Estes Park, CO 80517 (on Hwy 36.)

If you’d rather bring your lunch, you can still plan to eat there with us. There are plenty of tables in this fast-casual restaurant, and if several of us order, it will be fine for some of us to just eat what we brought!
