#14 Baer Canyon Hike

Hiking Adventure Quotes
Found this on Adventure Quotes...Couldn't agree more!

It was a beautiful Spring day in late April and my husband and I decided to hike Baer Canyon. It is considered a difficult hike. because of the altitude gain. As we were hiking along the beautiful, fast moving creek, we were met by piles of snow on the hill sides. We hiked and  crossed the creek a couple of times until we decided to stop and enjoy the view and have a snack. At this point on the trail we would have to cross the creek and head up the hill towards Francis Peak and the water towers. 



We decided that due to the snow, we would forego climbing further. It was still a great hike. Beautiful and serene.

What you need for a great day hike:


  • water
  • snacks
  • a rain jacket
  • lip balm
  • sunscreen/bug spray
  • a bandana (for nose wipes or to dip in the stream to cool you off on your head or around your neck)
  • basic first aid
  • hand sanitizer
  • a pocket knife
Happy Trails!
