Ascending Hikes – Mount Morrison
Ascending Hikes Section (AHS): Mount Morrison is the biggest, baddest, rough and tumble, slog of a hike in the Denver Mountain Park system. It also may be the most exciting, most fun, and most scenic trail in the system as well. This relatively short hike up to the summit of Mount Morrison includes about 2000 ft of elevation gain. Mount Morrison is one of the most prominent peaks of Denver’s Front Range and its summit and foothills offer awesome vantage points of the other snowcapped mountains to the west and the Denver Metro area to the east. This is the fifth in a summer series of AHS hikes.
