Hamilton Area Meander

11 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •

We set out thinking Phlox Point if snow allowed. The road that goes off of Kueffler to the equestrian TH is closed. So we went over to Hamilton with the thought of seeing if we could get up Phlox that way. No snow until we were on the Equestrian Trail. We hit a place where snowshoes would have been helpful, although they would have also been challenging since there was a lot of down branches. After awhile we realized it was doable but not fun, so we went further up the creek instead of up to the ridge and crossed the upper bridge. I was sinking in snow above the knees, but it was still a great day.
