Great group and nice to see people joining individually. The guided walk wasn’t as educational as I had hoped - only a few stops and not sure if all of the information provided was 100% accurate. Would have liked to learn more about the unique geology of the area. Going into the amphitheater was not part of the tour - maybe it should have been for those that had never been and also to be able to see the rock formations up close.

Real feedback from people who joined this experience.
My wife and I simply enjoyed the event. Having a reason to leave ones house to socialize and enjoy our great state is greatly appreciated. The event was special and we enjoyed the camaraderie. It was great to meet some new people who are equally engaged.
I really enjoyed the walk and discussion. A little earlier start would be nice to avoid the crowds and sun. Will look for other such events—especially if they are up north (think Loveland, Ft. Collins).
Good to Know
To be respectful to the rest of the group, you’ll be asked to catch up if you arrive after 9:30AM .
Jenny will be your guide, text or call with any needs morning-of (480-518-4041)
Do NOT go to the amphitheater. Type in Red Rocks Trading Post - 17900 Trading Post Road, Morrison, CO 80465. If you don’t see an adobe building with Trading Post written on the sign, you’re in the wrong spot. Free parking is available at this address. -there is a bit of construction going on right now as it is off season. You can still access the parking lot.
Pack plenty of water and any personal medications. The altitude can get the best of all of us if we aren’t hydrated!
Cannabis use is not allowed. For safety reasons, if you show up high, you will not be allowed to participate in the hike. Enjoy when the hike is done!
