Mike Mosehauer, a Loveland Mountain Club member since 2001, will show us glass slide photos taken of Yellowstone National Park from a set of glass slides that were shot in the 1880’s -1900. This is one of three sets of slides taken by Frank Jay Hayes, all in black and white and all hand painted. At that time, there were still problems with Indian tribes, ongoing poaching, and destruction of natural resources. The only mode of transportation was on horseback. Mike will also display the actual glass slides and the projector that was used to show them. In 1964, Mike was fortunate to retrieve this set of slides and the projector from a neighbor who was going to throw them out.

It starts at 8180 feet high (with a bathroom…).\NFirst, the trail cross a large meadow, which may be blustery cold if there is wind. The trail climbs easily along a stream while crossing a large forest of aspens. At 1.2 mile, the trail forks. We will go left over the stream and climb slowly but easily through a dense forest of pines, which will protect from the wind. At 1.7 mile, we go right at the crossing to Bierstadt Lake or Cub Lake. We are now at Mills Creek, and will proceed northwest to the next crossing where we will turn right to reach the highest point at 9020 feet.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Hollowell Park Loop is an A hike, that you will enjoy thoroughly. It starts at 8180 feet high (with a bathroom…).
First, the trail cross a large meadow, which may be blustery cold if there is wind. The trail climbs easily along a stream while crossing a large forest of aspens. At 1.2 mile, the trail forks. We will go left over the stream and climb slowly but easily through a dense forest of pines, which will protect from the wind. At 1.7 mile, we go right at the crossing to Bierstadt Lake or Cub Lake. We are now at Mills Creek, and will proceed northwest to the next crossing where we will turn right to reach the highest point at 9020 feet. The trail goes down from there, and after 0.5 mile of a steep descent, it will reach the bridge. Then it is down and back to the trailhead.

This is a Difficult B hike of 10 miles with 2,300' of gain to two remote alpine lakes in the valley between Arrowhead and Thatchtop Mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park. Waterfalls abound. Max elevation is 11,420’.
From the Bear Lake Trailhead in Rocky Mountain National Park, we'll take the standard trail system past Mills and Jewel Lakes. Beyond Jewel and about half-way to Black Lake, we will leave the trail and make a sometimes-difficult crossing of Glacier Creek where we will pick up a social trail to the lakes. This is a steep route mostly on dirt but occasionally rock. It is cairned in places where the path is not obvious. It'll take us to Shelf Lake - a true gem of a place! It's in-flowing waters from the higher Solitude Lake cascade over white granite walls in multiple places. From Shelf Lake, we'll walk on easy slab granite to the upper Solitude Lake. The broad basin up here invites exploration. We'll look specifically for "Snapping Turtle Rock" - a formation you'd swear was made by humans, but you know could not have been. For lunch, the plan is to make the short climb to the obvious NE ridge of Arrowhead Peak. From this vantage point, we'll be looking down on both lakes and we can look out over the vast Upper Glacier Gorge basin below Longs Peak. Black Lake will be below us - a unique perspective. We will return the way we came but will probably use the "Fire Trail" going back to avoid crowds and shorten the distance.
Meet At: Bear Lake Trailhead, Rocky Mountain National Park at 5:15 AM. A daily use fee or a Park Pass is required for entry into RMNP. Reservations are required to enter Bear Lake Road AFTER 5 AM. You should plan on entering RMNP through the Beaver Meadows Entrance by 4:45 AM which will get you onto Bear Lake Road easily before the 5 AM deadline. Because the Glacier Gorge TH may fill early, we will begin our hike from the Bear Lake Trailhead. Meet at the bus stop pavilion by the Ranger Station at Bear Lake at 5:15 AM. There will be ample parking there. There is a toilet at the trailhead.
We will be starting in the dark and hike the first hour in the dark. Bring a headlamp!
Our pace will be moderate but comfortable to all. It will slow to a near crawl as we climb to Shelf Lake. Expect 8-9 hours car-to-car. The crossing of Glacier Creek requires a long step between two large, flat boulders about 3 feet apart (I measured it). It's more like a "leap of faith" than a step but everyone makes it. The water below is cold and runs fast but we always get across!
For more info or to sign up for the hike, please contact Pete Langer at 970-227-3614.

This hike is in the Bobcat Ridge Natural Area which is very close to Loveland. The loop goes clockwise with the largest segments comprised of the Ginny Trail and the D.R. Trail. The Ginny Trail is 5.4 miles long with an elevation gain of approximately 1,400 feet, but the gently meandering switchbacks and constant views of the granite outcroppings above and the valley below take much of the sting out of the elevation gain. The D.R. Trail is 3.2 miles long and moves steadily downhill with views of the trees and valley below. This hike is akin in some ways to a more desert-like adventure and is largely unshaded, which makes it a wonderful excursion for early November when cooler temperatures prevail. The myriad of views incudes sagebrush plains, front range peaks, granite outcroppings along with sparse pine tree coverage. The highest elevation point will be at approximately 7,000 feet. It is interesting to note that David Rice (D.R.) and his wife Virginia (Ginny) were the previous owners of the Bobcat Ridge property. One year for D.R.’s birthday, Ginny had a dirt road built to Mahoney Park, which was one of their favorite spots. D.R. loved it so much that he named it after his wife, hence the Ginny Trail! This area was homesteaded by pioneering families and there is an historic cabin which we will be visiting towards the end of the hike. Limit is 10 hikers.

From 1905-1912, the Eugenia mine produced copper sulphide and gold ore but was never considered successful. Carl Norwell, his wife and two daughters lived in the log cabin now covered with snow. A shining spot for family and locals was the piano in the Norwell home. This mine of music produced hours of joy to those who listened.
Fully vaccinated hikers only please. Also, because we never know how a hike will go, please plan on a full day. To join this hike, contact Gail Frasier at billgailfrasier@gmail.com

She will present information we are all very curious about concerning our hiking trails:
This moderately challenging and rewarding B rated one-way shuttle hike from the Blue Sky Trailhead in Fort Collins, CO to the Devil’s Backbone Trailhead in Loveland, CO is a hike of approximately 9.5 miles, with a net elevation gain of approximately 780 feet. The hike will commence from the Blue Sky Trailhead near the Horsetooth Reservoir and will gently meander down to the valley below while offering constant views of the valley and the surrounding hogback rock formations and foothills. Traversing the valley floor will be very pleasant, and we will then gently meander uphill to the trails of the Devil’s Backbone Open Space, and then take those trails to the Devil’s Backbone Trailhead. The Devil’s Backbone itself is one of the most impressive and visible geologic landmarks in Larimer County. The most significant elevation gain will be when we near the end of the Blue Sky Trail and link up with the Laughing Horse Trail, but it is pretty steady and not very hard. However, this section can be quite rocky and uneven at times, but is only 1.5 miles or so in length. Sturdy hiking shoes and hiking poles should mitigate any concerns. This hike is almost entirely unshaded, which makes for a wonderful excursion on a sunny winter day. The hike features wonderful views of the valleys, grasslands, foothills and towering rock formations. Vaccinated hikers only please. Limit is 8 hikers. Again, this will be a shuttle hike so if interested, please indicate if you have a Larimer County Pass and would be willing to drive. Contact Stephen Hatcher via E-Mail at skhatcher57@gmail.com

However, this section can be quite rocky and uneven at times, but is only\N1.5 miles or so in length. Sturdy hiking shoes and hiking poles should mitigate any concerns. This hike is\Nalmost entirely unshaded, which makes for a wonderful excursion on a sunny late spring day.

Another botanist who collected plants in Colorado’s mountains was so grateful for their work that he named three mountain peaks to honor them. To honor those men and their remarkable contributions to our knowledge of Life on Earth, local naturalist Kevin Cook hiked to the top of all six Botany Peaks.

This is an easy trail that follows the eastern edge of Devil’s Backbone to the top of the ridge. From thekeyhole, there is a beautiful view of the front range mountains. The keyhole trail is approximately 2.5miles with less than 300 ft elevation gain. Since this is a short hike, I also plan to go around the backsidefor another short walk to see the remains of the plaster area. My hope is that we will miss therattlesnakes who live at Devil’s Backbone. Devil’s Backbone has a $10 entrance fee, or a Larimer CountyPark pass is needed. If you plan to go, please let me know if you have a parking pass. We will meet at Jax(west) in Loveland and carpool to the trail. The hike will be limited to 8 hikers. Fully Covid vaccinatedhikers only for carpooling. At the hike leader’s discretion, non-vaccinated hikers may meet at thetrailhead. Rideshare will be $0.60 per person.
