Red Rock Canyon and Amphitheater, Morrison Colorado

Last week-end, on the way back of the Lair of the Bear Canyon, we also visited Red Rock Canyon.
It is hard to miss with the vibrant red and orange colors.

First you are driving in a wild desert landscape with slanted colorful rocks all around.

After a short drive in the park, you arrive to the parking lot for the amphitheater. You are now much closer to the stones.

Let's go to the amphitheater.

Look on the left.

This is some weird design. The colors are melting into each other. This reminded me a bit of the colors from Death Valley outside of Las Vegas, but in a smaller scale. Still very impressive though.

Here's the amphitheater.

This amphitheater is famous for its sound as it is naturally enclosed with rocks.

An entire array of stars from U2 to John Tesh have spoken about their extraordinary experiences on stage there.

Wanna be a Rock Star? Here's the view from the stage.

While I was sitting on stage taking this picture, Robert decided to run up the stairs all the way to the top, and give himself a good sweat. Here is is, checking me out with his binoculars. Look for the cowboy hat, black shirt and white pants in the center, leaning against the railing.

And here's stinky wet man going back down those stairs, much slower this time...

On the way out of the Amphitheater, there is a great view where you can barely see Downtown Denver in the background. Look for it towards the middle left, behind the green hill.

What a magical place. We'll definitely go see a concert there soon. It must be something at night!

Can't wait to hear that famous sound...

COLORADO IS BEAUTIFUL!
