Morrison may be a small town — just over two square miles — but it’s packed with character and exciting destinations. Situated at the bottom of winding Bear Creek Canyon, Morrison is perhaps most famous for the nearby natural outdoor concert venue, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. If you've already planned to see a show — and even if you haven't — stop in picturesque Morrison. Its Main Street district is filled with locally owned restaurants, quaint shops, and long-standing businesses. The town itself offers up a few single-family home rentals, but most of the real estate in Morrison is concentrated in the east near Willowbrook. Near town, a bike path skirts Bear Creek and leads to an extensive trail system and reservoir. Dinosaur Ridge is a must-see for geology or archaeology buffs; exposed dinosaur prints are perfectly entombed in sandstone all over this self-guided tour.
