 SH 74 , now known as Bear Creek Road , curves east- and northward as it winds out of town . Narrowing to two lanes , the route follows the path of Bear Creek , curving northeasterly toward Kittredge with Pence Park on the east side . In Kittredge , the route meets CR 120 ( Myers Gulch Road ) , which heads southeast toward Indian Hills . The route again meets Kerr Gulch Road , which bypasses the large curve which SH 74 took . From Kittredge , SH 74 winds eastward on the north side of Bear Creek . The roadway passes Idledale north of the Lair O the Bear Park , where it intersects Grapevine Road . East of the town , an abandoned section of SH 74 exists , which now serves as a path to private areas . The route heads into Bear Creek Canyon Park , where it curves along the creek in a more rocky terrain . SH 74 also passes through Red Rocks Park along the stream . Exiting the park , SH 74 enters Morrison , where Bear Creek Road meets SH 8 at an intersection . From here , SH 8 ( Morrison Road ) serves as the continuation of the road toward Denver .
