About fifteen miles from downtown Denver on the eastern slope of the Front Range is the beautiful Red Rocks Park. It got its name from the massive red sandstone formations that are the result of erosion of the Rocky Mountains.

Early settlers called the formations the Garden of the Titans. The area was purchased by the City of Denver to be included in the Denver Mountain Parks System. The park includes an amphitheater, a five-mile long scenic drive, and many hiking trails. The Red Rocks Amphitheater, stairs, and retention walls are built of native red sandstone and colored concrete. The amphitheater has been used since 1941 to host concerts and other events.
