Mount. Morrison, Red Rocks Park, Colorado. Winter Day Hike.
This video shows my amazing hike up the toughest foothills peak I've ever done. Mt. Morrison. This 7,881 foot tall peak is in Red Rocks Park outside of Denver and is a very strenuous 4 mile hike with almost 2000 feet of gain and a class 3 scramble at the end. Alex and I did this the day after Red Rocks got 8 inches of fresh snow! Enjoy!

Top Things to do in Denver Colorado Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater is one of the most notorious music venues in the country. Not only is Red Rocks a great place to watch shows, but it also has a free museum and multiple hiking trails surrounding the park. If you plan to visit Red Rocks for something other than a show during concert season, make sure to check museum times or go earlier in the day. This is because they do close the museum and amphitheatre a couple hours prior to shows. If you’re coming to hike or work out on the stairs, the views do not disappoint. After visiting Red Rocks, you can stop to eat and shop either in Morrison, Colorado or Golden Colorado. Both towns are just a few minutes up the street and have lots of entertainment to keep the fun going!

Red Rocks Amphitheater Exploration Excerpts
These are shots from our investigatory flight of Red Rocks Amphitheater. We were asked by the Parks service in conjunction with the City of Denver to fly some of the features that can no longer be accessed on some of the formations throughout the park.
Red Rocks Amphitheater Exact Running Distance on Seats Reve
With my state of the art GPS Watch, and running the seat tops of the BEAUTIFUL Red Rocks Amphitheater, I have figured out the EXACT distance covered while running on the top of the seats from the very bottom all the way to the very top, beginning on the very bottom stage left seat top and running back and forth all the way to the top stage left seat top. It is revealed in my short ONE MINUTE Video. Enjoy! My next Vid, coming soon will be other distances out there at beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater. Doing the grunt work so you don't have to!

Genesee Park and Red Rocks Amphitheater
There is also another park in this video but I'm not sure of the name. Genesee Park is @ about 8100' above sea level. Pretty park but the road was closed to the top so I didn't get the video I went to get. Red Rocks Amphitheater is one of the best places to watch a concert!

Explore Colorado Dinosaur Ridge
Head just 20 minutes west of Denver and you can walk in the steps of dinosaurs. It really is a trek through time at Dinosaur Ridge, just off Alameda Parkway in Morrison. Dinosaur Ridge is famous for its tracks site. There are over 320 tracks from different types of dinosaurs in a fairly small area. The tracks are easy to see and there’s even one area where you can literally walk in the footprints of dinosaurs. A hundred million years ago, instead of the ridge and foothills that are there now, the area was a flat sandy beach with rivers flowing into the ocean.
At one, about 92 million years ago, everything in Colorado was underwater. There’s proof of that with ripple marks at Dinosaur Ridge and you can also find seashells in the Morrison and Golden areas, among other spots in Colorado.
On the other side of the ridge, which is right across from the 300 million year old Red Rocks, is an area where you can see the evidence of rivers that were like braided rivers in a swamp or bog area that flowed into the ocean. You can see the stream channels, bones in boulders and rocks, and even a cross section view, or sideways view, of dinosaur footprints. The sandstone on the river side of the ridge is finer than the tracks site side.
Just a short drive away and right across from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden is the 1.5 mile Tricertops Trail. On the trail, you can climb in and out of the areas that were clay pits that have been mined. Left of the sandstone, you can see entire ecosystems from plant fossils to even some T-Rex tracks. It’s free to visit the Triceratops Trail. Just make sure you are wearing comfy shoes and clothes for the walk in and out of pits.
At Dinosaur Ridge, shuttle bus tours last 45 minutes. The tour is $4 for ages 4 and up. Entry into the exhibit hall at the visitor center is $1 for ages 4 and up. Children ages 3 and under are free for both.
Summer camps are back this year at Dinosaur Ridge. They are offered several weeks this summer. Cost is $275 for members and $300 for non-members. Yearly family memberships are $40 and individual is $25.
If you want a great hike, then head up on the Dakota Ridge Trail on top of Dinosaur Ridge. It’s about 2.2 miles from the trailhead at Dinosaur Ridge over to the parking lot near I-70. Just watch out for rattlesnakes along the top of the ridge, just like you’ll find hiking in other spots like Green Mountain and even in Red Rocks Park.
