4/26/2025 Loveland Pt24 to Pt20
As part of my going back and filling in gaps I did but have not tracked. I created this Chapter hike with that in mind as well as share the event to others. This would have been the second hike, but winter had other ideas and there was a heavy ice storm the weekend and it was canceled. We had 5 total hikers including myself. Kyleigh, Jess, Katie and Erin.
