Stay at Swadley Street Retreat after the show.

Haven't had the chance to catch a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre yet this year? There are still dozens of chances left before 2025 hits.

Check out historic Central City. It's one of the oldest towns in the state. They have multiple museums, one even has a mountain submarine! See the oldest art gallery in the state, visit the oldest opera house in the state. See the historic Teller House and visit the world famous Face on the Bar Room Floor. Take a gold mine tour and get to mine your own gold ore to keep. See the cemeteries and visit all of the shops. Come see why Central City is known as " The Richest Square Mile on Earth."
And when you're done with that, you can play at one of the casinos.

Not close to Denver area but for those wanting to see more of Colorado, this would be a great place to check out!

Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado offers a unique window into the lives of the Ancestral Puebloans, a people who built and thrived in this region over 700 years ago. Established as a national park in 1906, Mesa Verde preserves some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America, making it a place where history, archaeology, and stunning landscapes converge.
As you explore the park, you'll discover the incredible architecture of the cliff dwellings, which are nestled into the sides of steep sandstone cliffs. The most famous of these is Cliff Palace, the largest cliff dwelling in North America, with over 150 rooms and 23 kivas (ceremonial rooms). Walking through these ancient structures, you can almost feel the presence of the people who once called this place home, as you imagine what daily life was like in this rugged yet beautiful environment.
Beyond the cliff dwellings, Mesa Verde offers a landscape of rolling mesas, deep canyons, and panoramic views of the surrounding region. The park’s diverse terrain supports a wide variety of plant and animal life, adding another layer of richness to the experience. Hiking trails such as the Petroglyph Point Trail or the Soda Canyon Overlook offer opportunities to explore the park’s natural beauty while also encountering ancient rock carvings and more secluded ruins.
Visiting Mesa Verde is not just a journey into the past; it's also a chance to connect with a landscape that has been home to humans for thousands of years. The park stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Ancestral Puebloans and offers a profound reminder of the deep history that shapes the American Southwest. Whether you're exploring the cliff dwellings, hiking through the rugged terrain, or simply taking in the views, Mesa Verde National Park leaves a lasting impression as a place where history and nature come together in a truly remarkable way.
