Flying J Summer Solstice Celebration Hike
Details
As our home planet Earth daily spins about tilted axis, and as our home planet Earth annually spins around the Sun, let us honor this celestial occurrence with a hike fit for both 2 and 4 legged critters. The Summer Solstice happens on Sunday June 21, we will do this on a quiet weekday. Flying J is a relatively easy Jefferson County Open Space park not far from Conifer. A loop around the park via Shadow Pines Trail is about 3 miles, having around 350 feet of elevation climbing. This is an easy hike, done in around 2 hours. Dogs on leash are allowed, so bring Fido as you like.
A link to the park is below. See the map pin for the trailhead location. This link also has a park map page. If you care to join, meet in the main parking lot at the designated time. The hike will go a counter clockwise direction on Shadow Pines. Have good shoes, water, and a few snacks along.
The attendance guests number will be kept within park regulations.
Optionally, after the hike, refresh with a Qdoba burrito in the nearby Aspen Park shopping center.
