Basalt High School Trail
Basalt High School Trail
Description-This hike starts directly behind Basalt High School and heads west along a gentle trail before climbing steeply to reach a ridge near the top of Light Hill.
Directions- From the main Basalt stoplight on Highway 82, go south on Basalt Avenue (away from downtown). Take a right onto Fiou Lane and then go left on Southside Drive to where it ends at the high school. Behind and to the left of the school there is a bus turnaround. The trail begins at the left side of the turnaround.
Our description and directions today comes from the Basalt Chamber of Commerce, accessed May 14, 2016.

Weehawken Trail

We definitely didn’t finish this trail. We wouldn’t have been able to finish this trail in generally because of it’s difficulty and our lack of preparedness for that. Secondly, it started to rain, which I guess was a bummer, but I recall us being 100% blown away by the difficulty. man0man. I spoke to a co-worker after the hike, and he said “Ohhh. That one. My wife re-named that trail the “We-Walkin” Trail!” Danggg. The Denver Post’s article on the hike does a great job of describing the hike (as I think we only got about a mile--which according to that article is where 1000 ft of the total 2200 elevation gain. Here is another shorter post that may be helpful in terms of directions/data). This wouldn’t be our last time on the trail, and it wouldn’t be our last time on the trail in which we didn’t reach our destination. This is definitely one to bag for...June? It’s hands down going to be one of those hikes that you’ll enjoy more if in better shape. It’s easy to get to which is saying a lot coming from me. ANYWAY we had to end our hike short due to rain--I can’t say it was unwelcomed. As we were not in shape.

“How do we forgive our Fathers?
Maybe in a dream
Do we forgive our Fathers for leaving us too often or forever
when we were little?
Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage
or making us nervous
because there never seemed to be any rage there at all.
Do we forgive our Fathers for marrying or not marrying our Mothers?
For Divorcing or not divorcing our Mothers?
And shall we forgive them for their excesses of warmth or coldness?
Shall we forgive them for pushing or leaning
for shutting doors
for speaking through walls
or never speaking
or never being silent?
Do we forgive our Fathers in our age or in theirs
or their deaths
saying it to them or not saying it?
If we forgive our Fathers
What is left?”
