Just south of Golden is the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. So like any good tourist, we made the journey there. And it is amazing! This is the view from the parking lot. See that ramp? Yep, we climbed that and more to get to the theater. I guess i shouldn't be worrying about not making it to the gym 'cause I got plenty of exercize today!
Along the way, we paused for the view. Okay, maybe we paused once or twice because we were all out of breath and our legs had turned to jelly. :) This was one of the views as we paused.
That particular climb dumped us out at just above stage level. Think very, very big!
And this view is looking up one of the sides of the theater. The theater is completely surrounded by those huge red sandstone cliffs/rocks. While we were there, they were setting up for some kind of show. It looked like a one-man type of show. I looked up to see who is going to be there next..... Tim McGraw, for two shows..... already sold out.
While we were there, they played a couple of recorded songs -- probably to test the sound system. The acoustics are absolutely awesome! Going to a concert there should be on everyone's bucket list.
Max hiked almost to the top of the theater and took this shot.
Waaaaay off in the distance is downtown Denver. What an awesome view!
After red rocks, we wandered down to Morrison. It is a tiny little town in the red rocks area. We found some lunch and then headed home. We actually started the day by going to the Golden farmer's market so everyone was ready for a break.......
Especially the girls! Gabi is never happier than when she has a new toy to destroy. And she was working hard on this one! It was a beautiful afternoon/evening to soak up some fresh air. :)
