You’ll meet your guide at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, located in the foothills west of Denver, where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains.
From there, your guide will give you some insight into the park’s long history, from its use as a ceremonial space for indigenous peoples to its popularity as a recreational respite for early Denver urbanites. As you enjoy spectacular views from all around the park, you’ll be able to envision Red Rocks as it was 300 million years ago while your guide describes the ancient processes that created its iconic uptilted formations.
We’ll have plenty of time to stroll around the park to see some unique Colorado plants and animals that call this area home.
The real showstopper of our walking tour, of course, is the park’s natural amphitheatre and its stage that has been graced by internationally renowned musicians for decades. You’ll hear stories about 1940’s Big Bands, early rock and roll and country icons like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and John Denver, and famous performances that really put Red Rocks on the map – sometimes controversially.
You might want to check out the venue’s upcoming concerts, with more modern acts including EDM and indie genres as well as stand-up comedy!
Head down to the Red Rocks Hall of Fame to find your favorite performer on their floor-to-ceiling schedule of every concert since 1947 and explore displays of memorabilia from past concerts.
