Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks Park is a unique transitional zone where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. The diverse environment allows visitors to see plants, birds and animals of both regions. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a geological phenomenon – the only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheater in the world. From Sting and The Beatles to opera stars and U2, every artist aspires to play on this magical, spiritual and emotional stage.
Mt Evans
Mount Evans was carved from the rock of the Mount Evans Batholith, formed by an intrusion of magma into the earth’s crust about 1.4 billion years ago. Mount Evans is the highest peak in the namesake Mount Evans Wilderness in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt.
Indian Hot Springs
Indian Hot Springs makes for a relaxing detour on your way back from the mountains. It’s one of the closest hot springs to Denver. In the early 1900s, the caves were carved out of the ground for the purpose of creating this unique experience. For those looking to unwind, massages and body treatments are also available.
