Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

It's called the most acoustically perfect natural amphitheater on the planet. It's not just the exceptional acoustics and music played here that make Red Rocks so special, however. Dinosaurs once roamed this geologically compelling landscape; did they hear one another's rumbling grunts from the distant bottom of the amphitheater? We'll never know. But we know that sitting among the towering sandstone formations as the music rises against the backdrop of a glorious sunset or billions of stars, Denver's lights twinkling below, is an experience found nowhere else. If you haven't experienced Red Rocks, you haven't experienced the best of Denver. Red Rocks is also a 738-acre park with hiking trails, a visitor center, trading post, and the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Locals work out on the amphitheater steps and Yoga on the Rocks is a perennial favorite, as are summer movies and the uplifting annual non-denominational Easter sunrise service.
