BERRIAN MOUNTAIN HIKE THIS SATURDAY 8/27 AT 9AM
Did you know there is beautiful undeveloped Denver Mountain Park land
immediately adjacent to Evergreen Meadows? Berrian Mountain is the peak
that towers over Armadillo Trail on the east side of our subdivision. The
Denver Mountain Park property encompasses 80 acres and intersects with
Evergreen Meadows at �upper� Armadillo Trail (north of Chipmunk and south
of Wolverine). There is an unmarked trailhead there that leads to the peak.
The EMHA will lead a hike to the top of Berrian Mountain this Saturday
August 27, leaving the trailhead at 9:00 am. The hike takes roughly three
hours roundtrip. It is a fairly strenuous uphill climb with an elevation
gain of roughly 1000 feet. If it is a nice day, we encourage you to bring a
bag lunch to enjoy at the peak, where you can see Denver to the east,
Indian Peaks to the north, Mt Evans to the west, and the Conifer Town
Center to the south.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Andy Potter by
replying to this email or call 303-674-0651. Depending on the level of
interest, we may do some carpooling to minimize parking problems at the
trailhead. If you know the trail well and would like to help lead the hike,
we would love your help.
DIRECTIONS: If the trailhead had a street number it would be roughly 8240
Armadillo Trail. Look for a phone pole with a sign that designates the
boundary between Evergreen Fire Department (uphill/north side) and Elk
Creek Fire Department (downhill/south side). Once you find that phone pole,
go north/uphill (toward Evergreen) about 100 yards and look for the flat
parking spot on the left. That flat spot is roughly opposite the trailhead.
Last year, about a dozen residents and several canine companions completed
the hike. We hope to see you Saturday!
