Mount Burke is an interesting hike in the front range in an area that isn't much visited in the south. There is an old fire lookout at the top(Cameron Lookout). There will be some "route finding" since there was significant flood damage two years ago, but there is a new alternative route that we will follow.

PACE: Relaxed Slower pace when doing the uphill portions and moderate for the balance. If you like to hike fast and be ahead of the group, please sign up for another hike.
