Hiking Matthew Winters Park - 5 mile hike
Details
My old favorite after work loop. Up the Morrison Slide, and then back around the base. We won't be on the Dinosaur Ridge side this trip.
Sunset will be at 7:15pm. We shouldn't need headlamps but it's likely we won't be back to the parking lot until after sunset. Civil twilight, where it's still possible to see without a headlamp lasts for 30 minutes after sunset.

Plan is to park 4:45ish and start from the kiosk near the vault toilets at 5pm. Loop over the Morrison Slide and then back to the parking lot.
You'll need normal hiking gear, hat, sunglasses, water.
I prefer to hike without pets or children.
I'm limiting the group to 6 people, I prefer smaller groups. RSVPs will close a day before the hike, that just makes things easier for me.
