Feb 19 – Wednesday: GARDEN OF THE GODS EAST LOOP. Dan
Zeddies hike leader. This route is a loop located entirely east of the Central
Garden. The east sides of upright red rock “flatirons,” which are not usually
seen by park visitors, and rock spires used by climbers provide impressive
views throughout the hike. The hike is relatively flat with a few short rocky
descents. About 4 miles, 370 ft elev gain, highest altitude 6,600 ft. Easy.
