Experiencing Red Rocks

Of all the exciting attractions in Denver, Red Rocks is something special. The city park and its outdoor amphitheater are the best places for hiking, biking, and live music. Concerts at Red Rocks are mesmerizing as the stage is set between two giant sandstone rock formations.

It’s not only stunning and beautiful, but this naturally formed amphitheater has incredible acoustics. Many great acts come to this venue, and many yoga classes or even movie nights are hosted here.

The park consists of several different biking and hiking trails for you to experience breathtaking mountain views. You can also check the Colorado Music Hall of Fame while you’re in Denver.

Other than the exhibitions, this museum is also an IMAX theatre and one of the best planetariums in the US. There’s also a T-Rex café here where you can grab a bite and a drink. There’s so much to do and observe here that you’ll easily spend an entire day taking in everything that the exhibitions have to offer.


Relaxing In The Local Parks
