Description
I wanted to take my father-in-law on a nice hike since the weather was cooperating on his visit from North Dakota. The route we took to Mount Morrison above Red Rocks is slightly more than a simple trail hike though. It was fairly steep with some loose rock and easy route-finding. In addition, there is a bit of class 3 scrambling near the summit. He still enjoyed himself for the most part despite getting sore from the day.
