Red Rocks Sunrise Hike

The #1 hike on Airbnb Experiences and Google!

Start your day with a serene, crowd-free hike through the stunning landscapes of Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. Led by expert local guides, this early morning hike showcases the natural beauty and rich history of one of Colorado's must-see trails. Afterward, savor a grab-n-go breakfast in the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater, allowing you to soak in the awe-inspiring views of this world-famous venue—without the usual crowds. 

 

The Experience

Start your adventure by meeting your guide and small hiking group at the Red Rocks Trading Post. After introductions, we’ll hit the trail for a 1.5-mile, 70-minute hike through Red Rocks Park, covering a mild 350-foot elevation gain. Along the way, keep an eye out for local wildlife like mule deer (always ready to photobomb!), and get ready for stunning photo ops!

Our guides will share the rich history of Red Rocks, from prehistoric dinosaur fossils to the park’s development by the Civilian Conservation Corps, plus legendary stories of famous artists like U2 and The Beatles who have rocked the iconic amphitheater. After the hike, enjoy a delicious grab-and-go breakfast with coffee and gain access to explore Red Rocks Amphitheater at your own pace. Prepare for a bit of sweat, plenty of fun facts, and photos your friends will envy!

Not a Morning Person? 

No worries! Skip the sunrise and join us for a late-morning adventure at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater, kicking off at 10:30 AM. This beautiful lunch hike offers the same awe-inspiring trails and epic views, with a relaxed start time so you can enjoy that extra snooze. Our friendly guides will lead you through the iconic landscapes of Morrison, Colorado, ending with a grab-n-go lunch to enjoy in the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater—because great views are even better when you’re well-rested!

A Beautiful Morning Hike at Red Rocks

We booked this hike on our visit to Denver and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! Not only did Cody have a great attitude and sense of humor, he also shared cool history about the Red Rocks as well. Coffee and breakfast after the hike was a perfect way to get a jumpstart on your day. Definitely recommend this experience!

Beautiful Couple Enjoying the Sunrise

This was an amazing experience! Our guide Jenny was amazing. It was an absolutely perfect hike for my husband, our two small children (10 and 5) and myself. The boys really enjoyed it, and Jenny did an amazing job storytelling. The breakfast at the end of our hike was such a great plus. Our kids loved it. Thank you so much!

Family Fun with Red Rocks Hikes

Such an incredible experience! We were lucky enough to be the only group on the trail. Erica was an incredible guide telling us all about the history of the area but was also super personable and funny. Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family and would love to go again. Red Rocks is such a beautiful area especially at sunrise!
