About

Though it's 28 miles from Boulder, no Colorado entertainment listings would be complete without mentioning glorious Red Rocks, probably the most beautiful outdoor performance space on the planet. Towering red sandstone ledges at the base of the Rocky Mountains wall the 9,525-seat amphitheater which provides a view of Denver and the Great Plains. A lengthy concert series with the hottest musical acts is presented each year. The environment often is Colorado hippie in a venue not to be missed for a show, sightseeing or an invigorating walk. If you are lucky, you might be there one evening to catch the spectacular sight when the moon rises from the ground on the Great Plains. The Ship Rock Grille, open for lunch daily and dinner only on event nights, serves quality sandwiches, burgers, steaks, seafood and more.
