Red Rocks Amphitheater is a naturally occurring amphitheater between two gigantic sandstone rocks that are at the lowest point 300 feet tall and have severe 90 degree slopes. The dressing rooms and offices below the stage are cut out from the rocks and the rocks form the walls of most of the rooms. The rocks are named, Creation Rock and Ship Rock. Why? I dunno, but look at this place.
This is Ship Rock
This is Creation Rock
This is E-Rock (joke and wit credit to Mary Ann Kiger, I'm not that clever)
These people seem to like it too...
It is an incredibly popular destination for traveling artists and the nomadic tribes of music festivals. As we were leaving Rush pulled in on their bus for a casual nap before their show the following day. (their bus is MUCH more lavish than ours). As our nomadic tribe ventured out toward the land of hotel we arrived finding yet another Prevost in the lot, this one belonging to Shadows Fall, who is on the Sounds of the Underground tour. Another festival with a plethora of artists that travel the nation bringing entertainment to you.
Metal, Hip-Hop, Classic Rock, it's all the same when you're away from home, hungry, sleep deprived, have no clean clothes left, and can't agree on what to watch on the bus. The kinship between nomads runs deep and I am glad to have made a few new friends. Next stop Santa Fe, NM. Indian Casinos, oh yeah we might as well do a show while we're there.
