About us
Welcome, Active Outdoors Fans!
The Denver Trail Heads is a group for people with a wide range of outdoor interests. We will be hiking, snowshoeing, camping, cross-country skiing, etc. Occasionally, you will see a backpack or camping trip or an overnight at one of the many Forest Service cabins.
Our goal is to provide a safe, fun environment for ALL to enjoy outdoor activities, regardless of:
• Age
• Gender
• National Origin
• Race
• Religion
• Sexual Orientation
To date, we have hosted over 2,800 events. These trips were all made possible by our organizers. We work hard to organize trips and make them fun for you. The tone of an event is set by the organizer. Hiking speed, number of breaks, fitness level required, picture taking, dog-friendly, etc. Sometimes it is not as much the location or type of event, but who is running it that will determine if it is the event for you. More information about our organizers can be found here.
For safety and transparency, we ask you provide a relatively recent profile photo of yourself.
If you have an idea for a trip or you are interested in becoming an organizer, please let Paul and Bernard know. We are always looking for qualified organizers to help out!
Please RSVP yes only if you definitely plan to come. If you change your mind, please update your RSVP.
By joining this group you agree to the policies and terms of the group.
We do not charge members a fee to join the group. However, donations are appreciated.
NOTE TO SOLICITORS; This is not a philanthropic, or marketing organization. Please do not contact us for such purposes.

Bear Peak Loop - 8,461' !
NCAR Parking Lot, Boulder, CO, US8.5 miles RT with 2,800' elevation gain.
Another beautiful classic hike in the Boulder area leaving from NCAR. We'll go up the high-stepping Fern Canyon trail and back down the Bear Peak West Ridge trail along with the Bear Canyon trail. For the summit ridge, there are some polished rocks and a few awkward moves needed for the last 50'. There are plenty of unique views along the way.
Please bring your pack, layers, fluids, snacks, and good footwear. Sun protection will be good to have also. I don't expect any lingering snow.
The parking lot is large. I'm not sure if the restrooms are open on Saturday or not. If you want to carpool from your area, please comment.
After, we could go to the Southern Sun Brewery.

Stanley Mountain 12,521' !
Berthoud Pass Parking Lot, Idaho Springs, CO, US7.4 miles RT with 1,800' elevation gain.
A lofty, expansive hike using a portion of the Continental Divide trail in the Vasquez Peak Wilderness. There's a lot to see on this trip and you'll have a nice view of some old friends to the East - Flora, Eva, Parry, and James. There is a good trail all the way to the summit. This hike is an out and back that begins and ends at the Berthoud Pass parking lot which has restroom facilities in the warming hut. And remember, the first challenge is to avoid getting hit while crossing the highway...
Please bring your pack, fluids, snacks, layers, and good footwear. It can be breezy at times, so pack accordingly. The UV Index can be very high this time of year.
Carpools meet at 7:00 at the Wooly Mammoth lot Section GG. Please comment below if you can drive or would like to ride.
