40 minute drive south of Boulder. Whether you attend for a concert during your trip (highly recommend) or visit during the daytime (free entry) to explore the trails or take in the view from the top of the amphitheater, Red Rocks is a Colorado must-see! Melissa and Matt have LOTS of memories here! We recommend strolling through the nearby, quaint town of Morrison before or after.
