MMB Saturday Ride-Red Rocks Canyon Open Space

Red Rocks Canyon Open Space — time to get back into those rust‑red corridors, sandstone shelves, and sneaky little lines that make this place such a blast.

This one lands in that intermediate‑plus to advanced‑intermediate pocket, depending on how spicy the group wants to get. Red Rocks always gives you options: smooth singletrack one-minute, chunky ledges and sidehill moves the next.
Expect a 2‑hour ride, roughly 8–10 miles, with that classic RRCOS rhythm:

• Punchy ups and downs that stack up fast
• Short, technical features sprinkled throughout — sandstone steps, rock rolls, tight turns
• A couple of legit climbs that make you earn the views
• Flowy traverses between the rock formations where you can finally breathe again
• That signature red‑rock backdrop that makes every photo look like a magazine cover

It’s the kind of ride where you’re constantly shifting, constantly scanning, and constantly reminded why Red Rocks is such a local favorite — playful, rugged, and never predictable.
If you’ve been craving a mix of cardio grind, tech puzzles, and big‑color scenery, this loop is going to scratch the itch.

Let’s go dance through the Red Rocks!
