Catch a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

A visit to Red Rocks Amphitheatre will elevate any concert experience. The bleacher-style seats are built into a cliff and surrounded by towering sandstone structures on three sides. Visitors praise the acoustics of the venue, calling it one of the best and most unique places to see a live performance. Concerts are typically held between April and November, and you can check the event calendar to see when your favorite artist will be performing.

Even if you are unable to attend a show, Red Rocks is a fantastic place to visit during the day. Around the concert area, there are several hiking trails, including the easy Trading Post Trail (1.4 miles) and the intermediate Red Rocks and Morrison Slide trails (3 miles). In addition, from high up in the stands, you'll have a bird's-eye view of the surrounding area. On certain summer nights, the venue even hosts drive-in movie screenings. Make time to stroll through the Red Rocks Hall of Fame to see the famous artists who have performed here. The Colorado Music Hall of Fame is also housed at the venue, which is about 15 miles southwest of Denver.
