Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Situated at 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks Park is a unique transitional zone where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. This diverse environment offers visitors the chance to experience plants, birds, and wildlife from both regions. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a geological marvel—the world’s only naturally occurring, acoustically perfect outdoor amphitheater. From legendary acts like Sting and The Beatles to opera stars and U2, artists from all genres dream of performing on this magical, spiritual, and emotionally powerful stage.

Mt Evans
Mount Evans was shaped from the ancient rock of the Mount Evans Batholith, created by magma intruding into the earth’s crust around 1.4 billion years ago. It stands as the highest peak within the Mount Evans Wilderness in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Alongside Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt, Mount Evans is one of the iconic peaks defining the western skyline of the Great Plains.

Indian Hot Springs (Optional)
Indian Hot Springs offers a perfect relaxing stop on your journey back from the mountains and is one of the closest hot springs to Denver. In the early 1900s, the caves were carefully carved out of the earth to create this unique retreat. For those seeking extra relaxation, massages and body treatments are also available.
