Saturday, September 14^th: Meet with the Denver Chapter for a Veggie Party! Please see Denver Chapter for more details! Party starts at 6pm at Shelli’s house.

Sunday, September 15th: Hike the afternoon away. Join us for the hike to the Royal Arch in the Flatirons. Meet at Jamba Juice at 2pm in Boulder at 3053 Arapahoe. The trail leads to the spectacular rock formation (the arch). The trip can be done in about 90 minutes from Chautauqua.

How to get to the Trailhead? Take Baseline Road in Boulder west to Chautauqua Park. Enter the Bluebell Mesa trail just sw of the park ranger’s cottage. Turn off left at the Baird trail. Just past the Bluebell Shelter, a sign on the right leads the way to trailheads for the Third Flatiron and Royal Arch. About 100ft ahead, the Royal Arch Trail forks to the left. It’s a 3-mile R/T hike with an elevation gain of about 1200 feet. Dogs are allowed. Pack lots of water for yourselves and mostly your doggie companions, since I’m not sure if there will be water somewhere along the trail for them. Did I hear someone say, "drought?"
