Thursday Run Location: Hogback/MW. Meet in the park-n-ride lot, on the
SE side of I70, at the Red Rocks exit. The closest bathroom is across
the street, in the MW lot. Please to not leave valuables in plain
sight in your car.
6:15pm – Main group.
5:30pm – CMRA group
3:30pm – Mary's group
You are welcome to run with any of the groups.
Depending on how much it rains on Wed, if the trails are muddy, we
will run at Red Rocks, meeting at the Trading Post, instead.
Run notes: If you are new to these trails, please review and bring the
map. Everyone starts the same way*, but we take different routes back
through MW. The shorter way back, for intermediate and slower runners,
is, after entering MW, about ½ mi after crossing the paved road, at
the S base of the bluff, MS1, stay right and run around (red line),
rather than over the top of the bluff. Sunset is at 7:06pm; civil
twilight ends at 7:33pm. Please finish before dark.
They are redesigning the trails and lot at the N end of MW. At MW2,
please stay to the left.
*If you are a slower runner (and starting with the later group),
consider skipping the Hogback, and just running the trails in MW.
Start by crossing hwy 93 to the MW lot. Take the MW trails S. At the
base of, on the N side of the bluff, just after coming up from the
deep ravine, at the fork in the trail, MS2, stay left, and follow the
trail (red line) around the bluff. On the other side of the bluff,
MS1, stay right and climb the Morrison Slide trail to the top of the
bluff. Continue across the top of the bluff, and back down the N side
(blue line). When you return back to the N base of the bluff, MS2,
continue back N to the end.
