Morrison is a picturesque town located along the banks of Bear Creek at the base of Bear Creek Canyon, at the very entrance to the Rocky Mountain foothills. Morrisson is home to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, one of the world’s most famous concert venues, and the only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheatre. The geological phenomenon hosts the world’s top artists in the summer, spring and fall, as well as non-musical events such as Yoga on the Rocks, and there are plenty of hiking trails for the public to enjoy. Morrisson caters to concert-goers and residents alike with shops, restaurants and bars along Bear Creek Avenue. Most notably, The Fort is a high-end, wild-game establishment, and is a replica of Bent's Old Fort, an adobe building celebrating Western culture with décor and southwestern food, quality wines and decadent desserts. Additionally, The Morrison Inn is known for authentic Mexican food, extra-large margaritas and their roof-top patio. Another must-see in Morrison is Dinosaur Ridge, an area rich with dinosaur excavation. The Morrison Natural History Museum has bones and fossils on display, which were first discovered in the area in 1877. Morrisson’s Red Rocks Country Club offers residents a challenging mountain-style golf course, featuring a stunning display of massive red rock formations and a panoramic view of the downtown Denver skyline. Located only 20 minutes from downtown Denver, Morrisson’s residents live in a recreationalists and outdoorsman’s paradise.
