Morrison Colorado Real Estate

Morrison is 15 miles southwest of Denver . In this historic town is the famous “Red Rocks” amphitheater built by the town’s namesake, George Morrison in 1860. The famous amphitheater began as a stone quarry. The native sandstone is of great quality and much of it was used during the 1900’s to build the beautiful red rock homes in Denver. Today as an amphitheater the stage welcomes world famous entertainers and the Colorado Symphony.

This town, at the bottom of winding Bear Creek Canyon, is perhaps most famous for the nearby natural outdoor beauty. Its tiny main street strip is filled with more restaurants than anything, but there are a few shops and antique haunts. The Morrison Inn serves up Mexican meals and custom margaritas on their rooftop patio. Just outside Morrison rests the high-end, highly acclaimed, heavy-on-the-wild-game establishment known as The Fort. A replica of Bent’s Old Fort, the adobe is a celebration of the West; decor and southwestern foods are the standard, as are quality wines and decadent desserts.
