Hikers, horseback riders, and mountain and road bikers will find plenty to enjoy in the area. A variety of trails lead to Panorama Point (pictured), a can’t-miss photo-op. So take your pick—the 7.4-mile Mule Deer trail loop is one of the first you’ll reach upon entering the park—and enjoy the sensational views along the way.

Drinks & Nightlife

A speakeasy /icecream shop- When you want a drink, an ice cream shop usually isn’t the first place you’d think of. But this is no ordinary ice cream shop, where an unmarked “freezer” door leads to a cozy ‘60s throwback bar.
How to get in:
Go inside Frozen Matter, head to the back and find the freezer door. Flip the switch and hang tight with your ID ready.

Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, one of the greatest entertainment venues in the world. Whether you’re a veteran concertgoer or if this is your first visit, a few reminders: Pack an extra layer of clothing or a jacket because the weather can quickly change from a perfectly sunny day to a windy, cold thunderstorm.
Guests should plan on arriving early to allow ample time for parking and walking to the amphitheatre, as well as passing through security. Other helpful hints include wearing comfortable shoes and drinking extra water due to the park’s altitude of 6,450 feet. Enjoy the show!
