It looks like I'll be in Westminster later this week, and I think I'll stay to dayhike on Saturday, and maybe Friday, too. Does anyone have plans or good ideas?

Depending on your destination you might want to wear some orange. Saturday is the first day of early elk rifle season.

I saw some pics, from this past weekend, in Commanche Peaks Wilderness. Looks like there is little snow so far. No hunting there, right?

The mountains are got another dumping last night. I heard that the chain law is in effect for Copper Mountain to Loveland Pass.

Elk hunting is legal in the Comanche Peaks Wilderness, though you probably won't run into too many hunters once you get away from the road. There is at least one professional outfitter that does run hunts in that area with horses. |
