Red Rocks Park - Morrison, Co

Red Rocks park is where the Red Bull Soap Box race was held. We tried to get in and weren't able to so we decided to go back on the 1st. There is an amphitheater there that has so many stairs my legs were starting to shake when we got to the top! There were a ton of people there working out and there was even a maternity exercise class! It looks like a great place to work out. I had to carry Ava and her umbrella stroller up most of the way. The boys had fun trying to copy the people exercising!


This shallow cave was on the side of the road heading up to the visitor's center. The boys loved it but were covered in red dirt when we got back in the van!



We drove through this tunnel to get to the visitor's center.



Here we are at the top of the "Heart of the Rock" Theater. The Beatles played here at the beginning of their world tour!


Derek refused to come out of the top of the cave. Phil had to go up there and get him.


Of course I have to put a picture of me in here for posterity.


These are the seats at the theater. They are about 3 feet wide. I don't know ho many people can fit in there but from the pictures it looks like a ton.


Ava was really tired of being in her stroller. This one of the only moments she wasn't trying to squirm out of her belt.


Pictures of the park. we weren't able to go walk around very much because a bunch of the park is closed off for restoration during the winter.

Overall we had a fun time walking around.
