A DARK NARROW HOLE leading into the side of a steep hill was accidentally discovered by William Merkel and John Gehret while they were blasting for limestone on a Sunday morning, November 12, 1871.

AFTER THE SMOKE CLEARED and the surrounding dirt was removed, they realized that the opening was large enough to enter.

CURIOSITY LED THEM INSIDE, but total darkness and fear of the unknown kept them from going any further…

Take in a “rock” concert -Visit Red Rocks Mountain Park

Red Rocks Park is not just a beautiful place to see a concert. There are 738 total acres of deer, dinosaurs, pines and prairie, geological wonders and spectacular vistas. The Park is a unique transitional zone where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains and is at 6,450 feet above sea level. Visitors can see plants, birds and animals of both regions. Red Rocks Amphitheater is a geological phenomenon – the only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheater in the world. From Sting and The Beatles, to opera stars and U2, every artist aspires to play on this magical, spiritual and emotional stage.
