I love red rocks. It's great for a little or a long hike when you want to see nature, but not drive up into the mountains. It's got a lot of trails and areas to explore. Depending on the day and time it can be packed with people or fairly empty. Also, it's so close to Morrison and it's cute little shops and restaurants. You can easily however long you want hiking and then grab a treat in Morrison. Personally, I recommend going in the morning because red rocks can get quite hot in the afternoon, but I don't always handle the heat well and I fry if I'm in the sun too long.
