Red Rocks Amphitheatre is an open-air amphitheatre built into a rock structure near Morrison, Colorado, 10 miles (16 km) west of Denver. There is a large, tilted, disc-shaped rock behind the stage, a huge vertical rock angled outwards from stage right, several large outcrops angled outwards from stage left and a seating area for up to 9,525 people in between. The Amphitheater has a long history of offering a variety of music venues to visitors of all ages.
Evergreen’s historic Main Street, bordered between a pink cliff wall of boulders and the rapidly flowing mountain waters of Bear Creek is compact, but full of irresistible fine arts, crafts and gifts worthy of any home, as well as bistros, coffee shops, boutiques, specialty shopping, and live music.

Buffalo Bill Cody remains the ultimate Old West icon. One of his final wishes was to be buried on Lookout Mountain above Denver, and his grave site at Lookout Mountain Park is free to visit. As part of the Denver Mountain Parks system, the park offers an engaging museum dedicated to the life and times of Buffalo Bill and his internationally known Wild West show.
A 40-mile stretch in the foothills west of Denver, Colorado, the Lariat Loop connects the communities of Golden, Morrison, Lookout Mountain and Evergreen, and features some of the area’s best historical and cultural attractions, not to mention spectacular mountain views and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Pass by the Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado, that is the largest single brewery facility in the world.
Golden is a city and former gold rush town at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, in Colorado.
Downtown Denver, 12 miles to the east, can be seen clearly from the Lookout Mountain. It is known for its natural scenery!

Michelle was prompt texting us that she is at the airport waiting for us and stayed in communication throughout the trip. She is a Denver native and so guided us as we went along. She gave us the description of all the stops and anything that was worth seeing along the way
We’d just like to thank you for taking the time to write this review. Thanks for your kind words about Michelle, she remembers your visit and is looking forward to seeing you again soon! We’re very grateful for customers like you! Thanks again!
We did a private tour with 5 people which included a 4 year old where we provided a car seat. Driver was very polite and personable! He guided us with information on history and how much time we had to explore at the four stops. Best part was the scenic drive to lookout mountain and back down through golden and dropped back off at our address! Love Front door service! Highly recommend when in the area! Very professional staff and a huge comfortable van to catch the views!
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We will share this with the team to let them know to keep up the amazing work.
Very good scenery..not too challenging but still a great hike. Tour guide was great. She picked us up from our hotel, explained different parts of the mountain. Great for groups.
Thanks so much for your positive feedback and good vibes. We're happy that you're happy, and we're looking forward to your next visit.
