The hike in was very easy, following the Westminster Hills Trail. I stopped for two quick geocaches along the way. I mis-interpreted my directions of "Turn at the intersecting power lines" when I should had written "Turn at the second set of intersecting power lines". I bush-wacked part of the way before coming to a small trail.  The rest of the way was easy, punctuated by friendly dogs every few minutes (the park is no leash, so the dogs and owners love it).

Expedition

The hike in was very easy, following the Westminster Hills Trail. I stopped for two quick geocaches along the way. I mis-interpreted my directions of "Turn at the intersecting power lines" when I should had written "Turn at the second set of intersecting power lines". I bush-wacked part of the way before coming to a small trail. The rest of the way was easy, punctuated by friendly dogs every few minutes (the park is no leash, so the dogs and owners love it).

Arrived with a few minutes to spare and enjoyed the view of the Front Range. Also found trash (deflated mylar balloon) which I packed out.

Took photos at the Meet-up time and hustled back since something I ate this morning really wanted to get out... just made the port-potty in time (no good places to hide and drop).

My first Saturday meet-up - WOOT!!!!
