Backpackers, come on in!

[Tinelement]

First weekend in June I have a few days without the family.

Looking for some ideas on a 2 night backpack trip!!

Early June, so snow pack may still be deep higher without snow shoes, which I don't have yet. Maybe next season.

Either way, post up your favorite trails and camping spots. (If you wanna, I know they can be secret!)

Thanks....

My brothers and I do the Mt Evans wilderness once a year. There's a cool little spot off trail which has the remnants of an old cabin, neatly strewn around in a pile. Firewood for the next 10 years, and nobody else seems to know its there. :-) I'm always up for some non-touristy hiking trails... preferably where there's zero chance of running into some yuppie from Boulder, out for a day hike.

Check out Lost Creek Wilderness...plenty of trails, nice hiking and views. Weather is usually decent and acess to water is plentiful. Snowpack should be minimal or nonexistent in June. Got maps and a book if you want to borrow. Can give you intel on a few trailheads.

If this is the same area I'm thinking of, it's a nice spot to get to from Denver. My kids and I went there and it's full of great day Hikes. There is a creek that runs through and we fished Brookies with a fly rod. Some trails are longer but I always bring a water pump. On the way back we usually hit bud's in Sedalia for a burger.

This. Went backpacking there twice last year and really enjoyed it.
