Red Rocks Park沿著洛磯山脈東側,位於丹佛西方15哩的Morrison北側,海拔6200(1890公尺) ,因其佔地868英畝內處處聳立著23百英尺的紅色砂岩而得名。如果說 Garden of the Gods 是個婀娜多姿的少女,那麼 Red Rocks Park 就是一位粗獷狂野的壯漢。

Red Rocks Park內最有名的是天然的露天劇場(open-air amphitheater),該劇場開始建造於1936年,完成於1941年,劇場完全依天然地形而建。在劇場兩側分別為所謂的南牆(south wall-- Ship Rock)和北牆(north wall-- Creation Rock)圍繞,Ship Rock原稱Titanic rock,而在舞台後面的大岩石則稱為Stage Rock,這三座天然的巨石都高達2、3百英尺

劇場有10000個座位這個天然的露天劇場是世界上獨一無二的。每年的夏天是這個劇場最忙碌的季節,無論爵士、重金屬、鄉村、現代、古典…等音樂都可在此體驗與感受。當搖滾樂演唱時,據說遠在十多哩外的丹佛都可感受到音樂的震撼。
