3 Things To Do At Red Rocks Park And Amphitheatre

Experience a Red Rocks Concert:

If you ask anyone who’s been to Red Rocks and seen a concert there, they’ll likely tell you it was a life-changing experience. They’ll tell you about how they were mesmerized by the moon rising over Denver as Neil Young broke into “Harvest Moon.” Or how the breeze made their hair fly as the music of Widespread Panic drifted over the sandstone walls and into the inky sky. Or how they felt like they were part of something bigger than themselves when James Taylor leaned into “Fire and Rain.”

Get Your Heart Pumping:

Red Rocks Park, owned by the city of Denver, is open to visitors one hour before sunrise through one hour after sunset. If you can’t make it in person, take a virtual tour of the park at redrocksonline.com . There are many hiking and biking trails in Red Rocks Park. Trading Post Trail is a moderate trail that explores the park’s dramatic geology, trees, wildflowers, wildlife, and amazing views. Red Rocks Trail is more difficult; both trails explore the park’s dramatic geology and amazing views.

Delve Into Red Rocks’ History:

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a geological and human phenomenon. The huge sandstone outcroppings that form the walls of the amphitheatre are higher than Niagara Falls and are part of the geological Fountain Formation, deposited approximately 280 million years ago. Today, the formations serve as a venue for live music, attracting some of the biggest names in music history. Although it wasn’t used as a performance space until 1902, Red Rocks has been revered by musicians ever since. Stop by the Visitor Center to learn more about Red Rocks’ human and geological history.
