Individual Guided Day Hikes

	Spring Hikes Our spring hikes start in the foothills along the eastern side of the Rockies. Here, lower snowfalls and warm Chinooks result in grassy ridges with early spring flowers and dry hiking, while the main mountain ranges are still snow-bound. As we progress from May to June, we go to ever higher destinations, as the snow melts away. Many spring hikes are ridge walks, which offer great views of the surrounding valleys.
	Summer Hikes The months of July and August are the peak of the summer hiking season. Summer wildflowers are in full bloom and it is the ideal time to explore high alpine meadows, lakes and peaks. A number of hikes take you to high ridges or lofty lookouts with 360 degree views of the valleys below.
	Fall Hikes The transition from the warmth of summer to the early winter snows is marked by the changing colors of autumn. The first splashes of color in early September are the reds of fireweed, followed by the transition of aspen leaves from green to yellow. The alpine larch is a deciduous conifer that turns a brilliant gold color for a few weeks, before shedding its needles. It is found in a relatively small number of locations near the tree-line. We finish the season with a couple of hikes that tend to stay snow-free at the end of autumn.
