Just a short 15 miles from Denver, you can personally experience the majestic setting of an open-air amphitheatre that had Mother Nature as its architect. Everyone from the Beatles, to Opera stars, to U2 have graced the stage of Red Rocks, the only naturally occurring and acoustically perfect amphitheatre in the entire world.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre opened to the public in 1941 with a 9,525 seat capacity and has since been home to droves of concert-goers, sight-seers, and exercisers who long for a glimpse of the breathtaking beauty that this venue encompasses. The 10 photos below prove that this stunning amphitheatre is truly one-of-a-kind.
