BETA PHOTO: Red Rocks from below on the Potholes Trail.

Description 

The Red Rocks formation straddles the Potholes Trail about 3/4 of the way up the bluff. The formation contains a dozen moderate climbs, the highest of which is about 25 feet high.


Getting There 

To get to the Red Rocks park at the South Shore parking lot and take the paved path north across the railroad tracks. When you get to the junction of the Balanced Rock Trail and the Grottos Trail, turn right and take the Grottos Trail. After 10 minutes of easy walking turn left and head up the rock steps of the Potholes Trail. Climb the steps for 15-20 minutes until you pass through a tower and a wall. You're there.

I wish there was a little more beta on this spot. I remember walking through the potholes doorway looking left and looking right thinking these were some quality lines. Also they looked harder than those described in this area lol.
