If you want to take a short but scenic drive near Denver, then you might want to stop by the town of Morrison. One of the reasons why Morrison is famous worldwide is Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a world-renowned outdoor venue. On regular days, the venue serves as a jogging area for locals. It also offers trails for horseback riding and mountain biking. Another attraction that has put the municipality on the global map is Dinosaur Ridge. In the late 19th century, dinosaur fossils were unearthed in the area. At Morrison Natural History Museum, you can learn more about these paleontological efforts and discoveries.
Planning your itinerary is one thing. You also need to book accommodations. Luckily, you have many options, such as Airbnb vacation rentals in Morrison and cabin rentals. If you prefer the latter, check out this list of the top cabins near Morrison, Colorado.
