We took advantage of an awesome weather day and went for our first hike since we've moved back to Denver. It was so nice to get out, get some fresh air and get some exercise! We opted for a hike that starts in Matthews/Winters Park and goes through Red Rocks. It's a 7.5 mile circuitous hike and we completed it in 2.5 hours. It was strenuous in certain parts but also beautiful. The only downside is that you did hear noise from the highway at times but it's a great hike for being nearby. The weather was perfect (in the low 70's) -- the hike does not have much shade so would not recommend doing it in the heat of the day in the Summer.
