Yesterday, my friend Jeff took me to Red Rocks. To tell you the truth, I’ve tried to visit Red Rocks multiple times: I wanted to check out a concert at the amphitheatre, but didn’t act quickly enough to purchase tickets. I wanted to participate in fitness events at Red Rocks, but always forgot to check their site for when Yoga on the Rocks was happening.
FINALLY – we hiked Red Rocks yesterday!
Not only a venue for concerts, weddings, and other events, Red Rocks has tons of trails for hiking and biking. Also, dogs are welcome! Red Rocks not only satisfies your appetite for much-needed exercise, but is also immensely aesthetically pleasing. We hit the trails around before dusk to catch a beautiful sunset over Denver. Check it out below!

Weather permitting, Red Rocks will definitely be another destination to bring visitors. The hike Jeff, Moguls, and I took was pretty relaxed – not too tough, but we definitely huffed and puffed during segments.
Definitely a must-see, make sure to visit this beautiful park and amphitheatre; don’t forget to bring your furry friends!

Red Rocks is a beautiful venue! I went to Red Rocks the first time a couple of summers ago. I saw Steely Dan. It was a lot of fun, although we got soaked. It was that really wet summer a year or two ago. I love the drive from Junction. You got some prettier views on your hike than I had at the concert!
See, we’ve never been to Grand Junction, and need to go! Last summer we promised ourselves that we would see more of Colorado, which we did via 14ers. I think this summer, we’ll need to venture to each of the four corners to see what’s good along the way! 🙂
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Every area has its own charm and beauty.
