THE TRAVEL TO THIS HIKE WILL DEPEND ON WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Weather Channel Report for: Wednesday, February 25th: high 44/low 25, Partly Cloudy, Western winds 10-15 mph. Perfect weather for an open space hike. I would not do this hike or any other open space park during the summer.
Mostly the weather, maybe more dirt parking for those who would like to tack on 1.5 miles at the Flying J Ranch Shadow Mountain Access are a couple of the reasons I’d like to test out weekday hiking and a happy hour attached:

This hike/snowshoe and mountain biking trails follow through forests and meadows just north of Conifer. Starting from the main upper parking lot or the Shadow Pine Loop Trail. These trails gain 321 ft of elevation over its rolling 3-4 Mile course.
For those who will be hiking the 4.5 mile lasso loop, Flying J Ranch Shadow Mountain Access: 27281 Shadow Mountain Drive from the limited dirt parking lot, if you could start about 20 minutes earlier than I’ve posted to give both groups to meet.
And the rest of us: Flying J Ranch Trailhead
