Meet at the Matthews Winters Park northern parking lot at 8:00 AM. Take the Morrison exit south along CR-93. The entrance to the parking lot is about 1,000 ft south of I70 and is well signed.
This loop is only 5.5 miles long but the trail has some steep rocky sections as we ascend and descend from the Morrison slide so I've given it a moderate rating for difficulty. We'll get some nice views of the Hogback and Red Rocks from the top of the Morrison Slide.
