OTHG HIKES 2008
Check the website each Sunday night for a change in hiking destination? We are incurring piles of snow at higher elevations and may also encounter some driving difficulties as some roads are still wet. As a result we may change the hiking destination from the ones indicated on the website.
Steamboat’s OTHG hikes will follow the same “leaderless” format as the past few seasons. A “suggested” hjke sequence is listed below. The hiking group may deviate from the suggested sequence based on hiking/weather conditions. All of the hikes are described, in detail, in the book “Hiking the Boat II” by Diane White-Crane.
Suggested meeting times are also listed. The meeting place is the Safeway parking lot.
Hikers should be prepared a packed lunch, plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. It is also advisable to purchase a Colorado Search and Rescue Card. This is available from several sources, including “Straitline” in downtown Steamboat Springs.
A hike has not been scheduled for the Labor Day holiday since an OTHG picnic is normally scheduled for that day.
