Red Rocks Trading Post Trail

Nice short hike with good views. Went on a Monday around noon. Some people on the trail, but not a lot. Lots of places to park for free. Took just under an hour round-trip for my wife and I. It was 90 degrees and sunny and there’s basically no shade the entire time so bring sunscreen and a hat/sunglasses. Elevation isn’t too bad, but it gets a little tougher in the heat.

Fun short hike with the kids. Great views!

Love this hike! I come here often when I can't drive out too far, but need my nature fix. A beautiful place, with tons of scenery to photograph.

Place is awesome! Perfect spot for a group of 10 out here for a bachelor party, everyone enjoyed it. The trail doesn’t take long and isn’t too difficult, and it’s beautiful country to experience! Thank you to all my best bros for making the trip out here! I love all y’all!

Close to town, yet wilderness!! Nice hike!

Really nice easy walk around the rocks. No shade so bring a hat or umbrella.

Absolutely beautiful!

Really gorgeous and quite easy, but still a good workout. It’s great if you go in the evening, especially on the night of a concert because there’s no one on the trail and plenty of shade.

loved this trail. peaceful.

Pretty difficult hike for a hot day. The lack of shade makes it pretty exhausting even though it isn’t that long.

Beautiful views. It was a bit difficult for our novice hikers. There was no shade and temps were 97*. I’m sure it would be much more pleasant with cooler temps and more experience.

Great views and easy trail.

A little long for my almost 3 year old, but we had fun spotting wild life along the way.

Great begginers hike. Just moved to Colorado and am still getting used to the elevation. It was a good challenge but doesn't kill you! Perfect for out of staters!

Great hike. Just a heads up, no shades anywhere

3 adults and 9 kids...PERFECT day!

Great trail to bring visitors from out of state. They get to see a little bit of a hiking and red rocks experience all in 1 and not suck wind the entire time!! The view never gets old.

Great trail, over heard the band performing at red rocks do a sound check which was cool.

A nice and scenic trail. A little tourist-y, but worth doing at least once.

Close to Denver. A great little trail with the amphitheater as a backdrop.

My go-to hike in the area when I’m looking for something super easy and to just hang around at. The rock formations are fun to climb as well!

Awesome views but it was tough for our three kids (8, 6, and 3). As adults we loved it though.

Easy walk in an breathtaking place. The rock formations are amazing with great views.

Easy beautiful trail. Views of the red rocks are amazing.

Great for toddlers and carrying babies (no strollers). Busy on the weekends, but not crazy. Definitely worth the time for a fun family afternoon hike.

One of my favorite easy hikes, usually busy though.

Scenic hike but very short. Visit the amp if you haven’t visited before

This is a great trail for visitors from out of state or for those who want a just a little adventure close to the metro area! It’s easy and short, but some really pretty views along the way. It is usually busy. Plan on visiting the amphitheater and museum, and the Trading Post (with new museum additions)!

Easy hike around the Red Rocks. Definitely stop and go inside of the Amphitheatre if you haven’t seen it before !
