Wednesday Trail meet at Matthew’s Winters Park

Matthews/Winters is a park in the JeffCo open space system located between Golden and Morrison, right off I-70. It’s an easy drive from Denver. There are two trails to choose from, one challenging the other more moderate. The first longer run will be a 6 mile loop with about 3 miles along a challenging hogback. Rocky and steep in parts, but fun and definitely worth the effort. The second run is 4 miles and uses a cutoff to avoid the hogback. There’s one moderate climb, but otherwise rolling hills.
Both trails have fantastic views of Denver.
Meeting Location: Trailhead, just off County Rd. 93
