Social Hike: Horseshoe Trail to Frazer Meadow
Friday, September 25th · 9:30am
Make a little room in your Friday for fresh air, autumn aspens, fall color, and good company.
Join 2nd Summit for a fall hike along Horseshoe Trail to Frazer Meadow in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. We will follow a forested trail beside a seasonal stream to an open meadow framed by aspens, with time to enjoy the scenery and connect along the way. This outing trades a summit push for a moderate morning on the trail, with a Friday start chosen to help avoid weekend crowds.
