Hiking – Mount Morrison

Meet at the Morrison Park n Ride, just off of C-470, at 8:00 AM. (Make the first right turn when you exit the highway. Here's a link to the park n ride: https://www.waze.com/live-map/directions/park-and-ride-morrison-and-c-470-morrison-rd?to=place.w.166986125.1669992317.3533448  )

Mount Morrison overlooks the famous Red Rocks amphitheater and a large portion of the Denver metropolitan area. This is a steep, 2nd class route requiring a small amount of scrambling. It's a great conditioning hike. There are good hand holds in one spot where you need to climb up some rock. Be aware that there’s a lot of loose rock that makes the rock pretty slippery, so bring grippy shoes. It should take a little more than 3 hours. Hiking poles are also very helpful.
