Rob - I may give you a holler on down the road. Still planning away.

Please do, unless you know and are a friend of my Ex, who lives in Autis TX.... :-)

If Rob's not available that day, give me a shout. I just moved back to the area (for all the reasons Dogwood listed). I live near the western terminus of the new light rail line to Golden. If I'm in town, I can get you from there down to Waterton Canyon.

Thank you both for the generous offers. I will definitely contact you as the date get nearer.

I'm a retired cop from Austin. I think I put her in jail once. (Did that help? )

yes! actually, she and I get along just fine, and Austin is an awesome town (I visited her w/ the kids one holiday). Anyway, back to the thread: Just to reiterate, I'd be glad to give rides around the SW Denver area to CT hikers, I'm usually available Monday-Thursday, some Fridays, usually up in the mountains myself most weekends (including most Fridays). And yes, the downtown REI is awesome, you can get there via. lightrail/bus from DIA (10 minute walk from union station), then easily get to Littleton station from Union station. Looks like the closest RTD bus to Waterton is about 4 miles, from a Highlands Ranch stop just south of Redstone park. I can give anyone that's interested detailed directions on a 4-mile walk from that RTD stop shortcutting through Chatfield state park. There is camping in Chatfield, by the way. Not sure about cost or showers, but easy to check.

Cool! I'll plan for a weekday arrival. Thanks...
