Lookout and Horsetooth


Although it sits right behind our cabin, I had never hiked to Lookout Mountain before. A short, but steep hike from Meeker Park takes you to this peak on the flank of Mt Meeker with a tremendous view into Wild Basin. 

To get to the very top requires one or two pretty exposed moves, and getting down is even more challenging. However there are plenty of rocks just below where you can enjoy the 360 degree views. 

Unfortunately the High Park fire outside of Ft Collins started while we were on the hike. A tiny puff of smoke in the distance soon became a gigantic cloud of smoke on a hot and windy day.
