TuneTrek-Red Rocks

July 15th.  2012

So arrived in Morrison, CO with no real site in mind.   I knew that I was looking for a great outdoor location and luckily, Red Rocks has plenty of those.

I started out looking at a map of the park and decided to ask some park staff about Cave Rock.
They told me how cool that site is but it had been closed to the public because some inconsiderate people had decided to deface the rocks with graphitti.  Come on people.   We have precious history in America and we need to educate our population to preserve, not destroy.

Anyway, enough preaching.

So I went into the Trading Post welcome center and became friends with Suzanne.   She gave me some suggestions of which way to hike and got me pointed in the right direction.

I suited up with my gear and headed out.   

I decided to keep it a 20 minute or so hike because it was hot and I could feel the elevation workings it's fingers into my lungs.

Luckily, I came around a bend and saw my spot.  There was this large flat rock that I could face and perform.  It would act as a natural echo.

 
And behind me was a plain of grass with a super cool rock formation in the background.  Perfect.



I met a couple other travelers as I began the set up process and they stuck around and listened for a bit.    Always nice to share the experience of TuneTreking with a person or people at the site.

Red Rocks was the first outdoor shoot for me and it'll be hard to beat it.
