Experience a live music show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The venue is breathtaking, and the acoustics are top-notch. Unsurprisingly, audiences and performers have fallen in love with this natural entertainment space. The list of iconic artists graced the stage at Red Rocks is awe-inspiring, including legends like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Aerosmith. One of the most unique features of this arena is that it's geologically formed, with two massive monoliths - Ship Rock and Creation Rock - that add to the stunning scenery. These sandstone structures are a testament to the area's rich plant and animal life history, dating back millions of years. Red Rocks is the place to be if you want an unforgettable music experience.

The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park offers a breathtaking view of Colorado unmatched by any other place in the state. It is home to the highest suspension bridge in the country, which spans the 1,250-foot gorge known as Colorado's Natural Wonder. In addition to enjoying the view, visitors can also participate in exciting activities such as whitewater rafting and riding on the sightseeing Royal Gorge Railroad. The region surrounding Royal Gorge is rich in history and has many fascinating stories to tell. From fossils and Native American artifacts to coal mining operations and the construction of the Royal Gorge Bridge, there are plenty of clues to the past waiting to be explored. The geological formations that make up the gorge took millions of years to form as the river carried sediment and pebbles along the ground, carving out the vast depths we see today.
