Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a rock structure near Morrison, Colorado, 10 miles west of Denver, where concerts are given in the open-air amphitheatre. The Amphitheatre has two trails that are completely within the park, Trading Post Trail and Geologic Overlook Trail, both restricted to pedestrian only. The Trading Post Trail is 1.4 miles in length, and goes through spectacular rock formations, valleys and a natural meadow. Some of the terrain is rough, so hiking boots/ shoes are recommended. Also, hikers should be prepared for adverse weather conditions as the weather can change very quickly.
The trail is 6,280 feet above sea level, so persons with health conditions may wish to consult a doctor before attempting the hike. If children are joining the hike, provide good supervision, as some areas of the trail are drop-offs, steep grades, and road crossings. The majority of the trail is less than 30 inches wide, and rock climbing is prohibited.
The Trading Post Trial is the main one that will go through the Red Rocks Amphitheatre giving you a beautiful sight of the rock formations. Also there is no fee to go which is amazing. Once finished one can check out the Trading Post is a great place to shop for unique Red Rocks souvenirs, apparel and historical memorabilia.
