On Monday before Dave and Chelsea flew home we headed over to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Growing up in Arizona where Sedona is famous for Red Rocks, I believed they were unique to the area. However, living in Colorado for the past two years and driving back and forth to Phoenix numerous times, I realize there is red rock in various locations of the southwest including Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. There are two nice red rock parks we have discovered and visited since we moved here.1. The Garden of the Gods is about 45 miles south of us in Colorado Springs and is absolutely beautiful! There is biking, hiking, horsebackriding, picnicing, rock climbing and more. I forgot my digital camera when I went there with Grandma Jewell so I do not have pictures to post. However, you can go to their website and watch a video, see pictures and get some info. Visiting the park is FREE!
2. The Red Rock Amphitheater is about 20 miles NW of our house in Morrison, CO and is known as nature's best open air acoustic amphitheater. The park offers numerous hiking/biking trails as well as plant, animal and bird sightings. There is a museum with collections, videos and posters of past concerts. When you are standing at the top of the amphitheater you have a breathtaking view of Denver and the surrounding suburbs. Best of all this adventure is FREE! Sean would love to see a concert here as would I however, they are not free and we don't have jobs. Someday.
In the picture above you can see downtown Denver in the upper left side and if you look closely on the left side of the stage you can see Dave taking a picture of Chelsea and I. If you click on the picture you can see a larger version. Chelsea was not feeling well this day so we chose not to venture down.
This is a picture I took last year when Whitney, Chelsea and I were walking around the park and spotted this deer. (Scott says it is a mule deer?)
