Mount Morrison

Mount Morrison is a mountain summit in Red Rocks Park that rises to about 7,881 feet and features a distinctive rock formation called The Dome at its peak. Communication antennas on the northern side are visible from various angles in the park.

The mountain has served as a geographical landmark since Red Rocks Park was established as a protected area. The trails have been continuously maintained for public use since the early 1900s.

The South Ridge Trail draws photographers and nature lovers interested in documenting seasonal changes. Visitors find the mountain a quiet spot away from the concert venue below.

The South Ridge Trail starts near Entrance 4 of Red Rocks Amphitheater and takes several hours to complete. Good hiking shoes and plenty of water are recommended since the trail crosses open rock sections with limited shade.

The eastern face of the mountain serves as a natural backdrop for the Red Rocks Amphitheater, creating an unexpected connection between geological features and a performance venue. From the summit, the amphitheater's architecture blends seamlessly with the rock formations around it.
