    July 29-31, 2026 - Morrison, CO…read more A hike followed by lunch on the patio at the Ship Rock Grille is a great way to experience Red Rocks. Be sure to explore the amphitheater, and if you can fit a concert into your plans, don't miss it. It's an unforgettable experience. Just be prepared for Colorado's unpredictable weather. We arrived for the concert early and waited in the parking lot for the gates to open. It was sweltering, and everyone was dressed for the heat in shorts and tank tops. Once the gates opened and we made it through security, we were only a few minutes from entering the amphitheater when the skies opened up and it started pouring. Fortunately, we had packed lightweight rain jackets, so we stayed comfortable. Many others weren't as prepared and ended up soaked. The lesson? Do your research, check the forecast, but don't depend on it. Bring layers and rain gear, even if the day starts out hot. At Red Rocks, you can experience blazing sunshine and a thunderstorm within the same hour. But, it's absolutely worth every minute you spend here!

    This place is BEAUTIFUL! We went around brunch time, and it was an awesome site to see. I can only…read moreimagine how much more breath taking it is during sunset or sunrise. There is nothing more magnificent than seeing natural beauty created by our awesome God. The amphitheater was a sight to see. It's amazing that it was man made. There are a total of three marked hiking trails. We hiked the difficult and medium trails. They weren't that bad at all. The different elevation did make it tough at times, but what an accomplishment it felt when we finished. Also, the view along the way was great. So don't forget to stop and just look around! They also have an easy trail, which is nice, especially if you're taking small children. The visitor center was neat as well with some fun facts and history. There is also a Trading Post where you can purchase souvenirs. The shirts are crazy expensive, but if you shop in the clearance section, it is more affordable. If you're hungry, there is one restaurant there with reasonable prices, but of course more on the pricier side. However, I think it would add to the experience if you brought your own food and picnicked along the way or eat at the end. You can definitely spend a whole day here! It's great for a family outing, date, friends hang out, or even just to enjoy solo. I highly recommend visiting this place, especially if you're from out of town.

    Do you want a transformational music experience? Well, you have come to the right place. Having…read moreseen The Fray, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Strokes and many other acts here over the years I can say my ears are very happy. Even the hike from the lower lot and up to our seats is well worth it. You can find concessions but also bring your own water bottle to fill up. On the very top they have concessions now where once stood an empty platform to corral people to one side or another to lead them to their seats. Always a great experience and the vibes are always on the up and up!

    As someone who was in the music industry for almost 30 years, I can't believe I've never seen a…read moreshow at this iconic outdoor venue. I have heard and talked about Red Rocks for decades, but had never been. My wife and I were in Colorado visiting friends and saw online that one of my favorite female voices of all time, Sarah McLachlan was playing a show at the same time we were in the area. It was a no-brainer! I could potentially make this one of my longest reviews ever, but I'll try to keep it short by saying this venue was everything I wanted it to be and more. Parking was easy as there were people directing you from the bottom of the hill up to the venue the entire way. I recommend getting there early like we did, so you don't have to shuttle from one of the outer lots. We had a short and simple walk from our parking lot to the entrance. I also recommend bringing some sort of rain gear just in case because of the random storms that show up in that area. The good news is they're gone almost as quick as they arrive, which was the case for us. After about 30 minutes of rain, the sun came back out, and it turned into a perfect summer night in Colorado. As for the concert, I've never been to a place where the venue gets talked about almost just as much as the artist. Sarah McLachlan is always incredible (still amazing after all these years) but our group talked about Red Rocks almost just as much as her. The view is amazing, there really isn't a bad seat in the entire place, and the acoustics seem to be almost perfect. We actually really liked their food options as well. That said, I wish I would've done my homework because a lot of people have brought their own into the venue and that's something. We probably would've done as well. Check their website for details before you arrive. One last note, don't forget to stop by their visitor center. I'm so glad we didn't skip it because not only does it share the history of this incredible venue, but they also have an area where they list off by year every single artist who has ever played there from the beginning to now. That was super cool! Truthfully, my entire Red Rocks experience was perfect. People who live in the area know what I'm talking about and if you ever visit Colorado, do yourself a favor and cross this amazing place off your bucket list. By the way, concerts are amazing here but it's also open to the public during the day just to check out. So cool!

    Really neat and easy hike! The trail is completely paved and about 2 miles round trip, though a…read moregood portion is uphill, so you'll definitely get a little workout. It was really cool seeing the dinosaur fossils and footprints preserved in the rocks, and there are informational signs along the way explaining what you're looking at, which made it even more interesting. The trail is pet friendly, but there is very little shade, so it gets extremely hot during the day. Make sure the pavement isn't too hot for your dog's paws, and bring plenty of water for both you and your pup. We went during the day and were glad we came prepared. Overall, it's a unique stop that's definitely worth visiting, especially if you're interested in dinosaurs or looking for a short, easy hike with great history.

    Next time I may pay for the tour bus instead but just couldn't stomach $30 a head. We hiked up to…read morethe main Croc River sighting area and definitely saw a lot. Thinking all the events happened millions of years ago and during the Cretaceous Era when much of what we saw was under water. Since clouds, thunder and lightning were approaching, the staff warned us about the potential of being called back. Thankfully once we hit the trail the weather was good other than being cloudy. Saw a lot, learned a lot and experienced the wonderful world of hiking uphill. haha. Definitely worth it and will be back soon to check out the entire ridge!
