Hike to Lion Gulch Homesteads

This hike does not get a lot of sun so last weeks snow will probably still be in evidence over much of the distance. Be prepared for snow and ice on the trail. If you own some sort of traction device, I'd suggest throwing it into your pack just in case. I would discourage doing this in running shoes or something of that ilk unless you are very confident of yourself on icy trails.

I got the wrong name for this hike. It is actually called Lion Gulch. Since there is another hike named Myers Gulch somewhere near Morrison, I wanted to correct the name. All the rest of the details remain the same.

This is a moderate hike of 7 to 9 miles which visits some old homesteads between Lyons and Estes Park. There are a lot of different options for where to hike depending on what homesteads we want to see. The elevation gain is about 1000 feet.

Meet at 10AM at the Stone Cup coffee shop in Lyons. We will carpool to the trail head from there. Well behaved dogs are welcome and can be off leash on this trail. Expect to be back to Lyons between 4 and 5 PM.
