This document is the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for Red Rocks Park and Mount Morrison Civilian Conservation Corps Camp in Morrison, Jefferson County, Colorado. The NHL nomination for Red Rocks Park and Mount Morrison Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 1 for its association with the CCC, one of the most popular New Deal programs. Red Rocks Park additionally meets NHL Criterion 4 for its embodiment of CCC-era workmanship and collaborative design by landscape architects, architects, and engineers that was overseen by the National Park Service. The Red Rocks Park and Mount Morrison Civilian Conservation Corps Camp is a stellar example of Federal and local government collaborative planning carried out with the manpower of the CCC, which developed public landscapes and advanced outdoor recreation from the mid-1930s until the CCC program ended in 1942.
