Early Evening Hike – Shanahan Ridge Loop with a bit of Mesa Trail

5.5 miles RT with 1,150’ elevation gain

This popular Front Range trail offers varied terrain, from open paths to wooded singletrack, with an extra one-mile loop along the Mesa Trail.

We’ll keep a brisk pace, averaging 2.5+ mph, and should finish with plenty of daylight – but I do recommend bringing a headlamp just in case.
