Hiking – Mount Morrison

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  slippery, so bring grippy shoes. It should take a little more than 3 hours. Hiking poles are also very helpful.

This is a CMC Bobcats trip, but everyone is welcome. The Bobcats’ mission is to ensure a variety of adventurous CMC trips, mostly on weekdays, all year long. Our trips tend to be faster-paced, on more challenging routes, and with fewer stops. We foster a strong community of hikers seeking challenge, discovery, and camaraderie. We don’t have dues or elections and we invite ALL CMC members to sign up for any Bobcat trip. (For more information on the Bobcats section see https://www.cmc.org/groups-sections/special-interest-sections/bobcats-section)
