On the Hill Summer, brought to you by The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute, brings you a video report about a different High Country adventure every weekday.

Today’s activity: Hiking the Spruce Saddle trail at Beaver Creek

Details: Beaver Creek’s Centennial lift will reduce service to weekends only starting next week, but that doesn’t mean the hiking opportunities are diminished. The Beaver Creek Hiking Center will still be open every day that that lift is running (Saturdays and Sundays throughout September), and will offer complimentary guided hikes starting at 11 a.m. for those looking to learn some the trails.



Today’s weather: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 3 p.m. Partly sunny, with a high near 69. South southwest wind around 5 mph. — National Weather Service
