Follow the goats through the red rock landscape of Matthews/Winters Park, passing the remains of a Gold Rush settlement and one of Colorado’s oldest cemeteries at whatever pace the herd feels like setting. It’s scenic, unhurried, and gives back. Every hike supports the animals at Molly’s Menagerie, local trail preservation, and Native students.
