Red Rocks Trading Post Trail
Morrison, CO
On September 6, we got in a quick hike before the concert on the Trading Post Trail in Red Rocks Park. This is one of our favorite trails in Red Rocks, and we try to hike it whenever we are there for a concert. It was fun to share it with Mallory and Marissa (though, they had done it previously with their Mom and Aunt Kim). We had a beautiful data for the beautiful hike.
