Gateway Trails Hikes
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Let's get our bodies moving and soak in the great outdoors. Discover the beauty of Colorado on either a 3-mile or 1-mile loop trail, both generally considered easy. Fit for anyone, with only a slight elevation gain, the longer loop for the first group takes an average of 1.5 hours to complete and the shorter loop for the second group takes an average of 45 mins to complete. These trails are great for birding, hiking, and running, and the trailhead is steps away from the resort. Endeavor to be on time for the 10am meet as we will all depart at 10:15am.
