Towering 300-foot-high red sandstone boulders form an open-air music venue known as Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. The location's near-perfect acoustics draw a variety of top-tier concerts, movies and events to the venue, owned and operated by the city of Denver. Other features at the site include a short, challenging hiking trail and a historically-focused regional visitors center. Located 15 miles west of downtown Denver in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the site is close to Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison, a showcase of fossils, tracks and bones from the prehistoric creatures.
Visitor center open daily Oct - Apr: 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; Apr - Oct: 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Park open daily 5:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. Performance times vary, check website for details.
Visitor center and park are free. Prices for concerts vary, check website for details.
There's no better venue. A little hard on the ass, though, so you may want to bring a cushion.
