Hiking – Matthews/Winters Park
Join us for a morning hike at Matthews/winters park. We’ll cover the red rocks trail up and across the Morrison slide, and circle back on the red rocks trail. We will stop at Dalton point for a snack/lunch break, probably around 11AM . I will send out an update on the trail conditions Sunday.
