THINGS TO DO

Take the Stage of the Most Legendary Amphitheater in the Country!

The best music venue in the country is also a great place for an outdoor adventure! With trails and views aplenty, Red Rocks is a great place to enjoy nature and gorgeous views close to the city!

There are concerts most nights in the summer, but you can still access all of the trails and even the actual amphitheater in the morning. Just be aware of the time, as it will get quite busy once all of the concert goers show up. The trading post trail is a fantastic loop around some gorgeous rock formations. 

After the hike, you can trek to the amphitheater and check out the view from the stage. Share in the footsteps of some of the greatest musicians of all time including the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and many more who have played the majestic venue.

The amphitheater is also a great place to work out. You will find all walks of life exercising here. The Denver Nuggets run the seats/stairs for an intense workout.

This is a great place to take your family as you can see a lot from the car, experience the amphitheater, do a short hike, explore the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, and more! What is often called the best amphitheater in the world, Red Rocks is a Colorado treasure not to be missed!
