Visitors to Matthew/Winters Open Space Park can enjoy picnicking, hiking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing. The trail system features a series of loops to accommodate all hiking abilities. The upper loop climbs to the rimrock which overlooks the hogback and Red Rocks Ampitheather, and appeals to hardy hikers, while the easier lower trails are ideal for novices. (From website)
The most common wildlife seen are mule deer, rabbits, birds and snakes.
There is plenty of parking, but plan to get here early on the weekends to avoid the heavy crowds.
