This is hands down my favorite outdoor music venue I have visited in North America. As an old Deadhead who followed them around and then becoming a live music junkie, I have been to many places to indulge.
The venue itself was built in 1941, and little has changed, other than some updating, over the years. The gorgeous red rock walls form a natural amphitheater on the side of the mountain.
Seating is long wooden bench style that span the length of the venue, so if you're looking for comfort, this is not your place, or consider bringing stadium seats. But the aisles do leave plenty of room between seating.
Take the stairs to the top, and enjoy breathtaking views of Denver. At night, when lights are on from the performers, shinning on the rock walls, they seem to come alive and change shapes.
Take a trip there during the day. It's free and open most of the time. Many people come to exercise climbing the numerous staircases and running along the aisles.
Hike around and take in the museum located under the venue, enter from the back/ top of amphitheatre. Grab a bite at the grill which has indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting) There's history of the venue, it's making, and pictures, videos, concert posters and plaques of artists that performed over the years. Offerings also include private parties, etc. in the rooms located under it, off of the museum.
Take in some live music or a movie offering at this beautiful location. You won't be disappointed!
