8-18-2018 Hells Hole Trail

-
An hour west of Denver in the Arapaho National Forest is a fairly heavily wooded hike full of  aspen groves and bristlecone pines. 


There was a rare yet distinctly autumn feeling hanging over the day as it was overcast, slightly chilly and there were leaves already changing colors at the higher elevations.








It was a steady upwards incline with small bouts of flatness.




We ended up cutting the hike short as it started raining fairly hard. There are no major vistas to see but it was a quiet and very low trafficked trail.

It was a hot dry day when we decided to hike Lookout Mountain which is only 30ish minutes to the west of downtown Denver. We loaded up on water and snacks and started off at the lookout area. We then hit the real trail and had some welcome shade for awhile. After awhile of forest the trail opened up to some great views and some hot sun!
