Entrance into the amphitheatre is completely free unless there is a planned event.

Red Rocks offers 6 parking lots to choose from. Pictured is the Upper South Lot. This one is most popular for events and concerts.

From the parking lot to the theatre is a hike up the south ramp. Concert goers receive a surprise workout on this steep walkway.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is surrounded by natural rock formations and overlooks the town of Morrison.

Colorado is proud to be the home to the only naturally-occurring amphitheatre in the world.

Climbing rocks is prohibited and can result in a hefty fine or even an arrest. It is potentially hazardous to the condition of the theatre and the patrons of Red Rocks.

The rock formation behind the stage is a popular playground for young visitors.

The formation of the rocks surrounding the theatre make this venue perfect for amplifying the sound naturally.

There are many hiking and biking trails around the theatre for those who are looking for something more than just a concert to attend.

The amphitheatre is open to the public for more than just music. On days without events planned it is open for exercise and for sight seeing.

Jogging across the length of the seats from bottom to top is popular for runners wanting a challenging workout at about 6,400 feet. This equates to approximately 2.5 miles.

The seats may be old but they are sturdy. The wood has been worn down just enough not to worry about splinters but are strong enough to support concert goers.

Red Rocks overlooks the city life in downtown Denver from 20 miles away.

Exercise at a higher elevation is great for building endurance. For 5-year-old Chole, its's her favorite place to practice her running drills.

People often climb up the theatre seats to get a workout similar to doing squats and lunges. There are about 400 steps from bottom to top.

Around the park grounds there are windows that frame the beauty of nature.

The staff does a great job cleaning. Trash is seldom found during the day around the theatre. Nothing seems to slip through the cracks.

In addition to being close to downtown Denver and having the Morrison community near by, the theatre overlooks Bear Creek Lake.

A ray of light beams down as the sun begins to set on this Colorado treasure.

If you look closely in the rock crevasses you can find many things. This bee hive has been fortunate enough not to be harmed by human interaction.
