Muscoco Mountain & Mount Cutler

Date: 5/20/2012
Who: Sammy and myself
Length: 4 miles (2 out + 2 back)
Time: 3 hours
Weather: 45-60 degrees, sunny

I chose a short hike today, because my stomach was still not feeling well after returning from a trip to California. I thought a hike would help me get back to feeling normal, but I also wanted to take it easy. Mount Cutler is a very popular hike in Cheyenne Canyon. From the parking lot to the Mt. Cutler summit is about 1 mile and less than 500′ elevation gain. We also added a side-trip to Muscoco Mountain, which added another mile and 1000′ elevation. We took a nice long break on Muscoco to enjoy the view and relax.
