Most hikes take place at a gentle pace to accommodate wildflower viewing and discussion, but some are long in length or duration. Difficulty ratings of “beginner, intermediate, or advanced” are based on trail difficulty or length, not level of wildflower knowledge.
Footing can be loose in many places. All hikes are at high elevation. Please plan to bring water, snacks, wear sturdy shoes, layers, sunscreen, a hat, and any other items to ensure your own comfort and needs.
Please also note, hikes involving chairlifts or the tram have a more strict departure time to accommodate lift departures or operating hours. Hikes not involving lifts depart as groups fill.
Please also note, CCF reserves the right to cancel hikes or end hikes early based on severe weather or other factors.
