Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

November 18, 2021

From the Trading Post at Red Rocks Park visitors can pick up the Trading Post Loop Hiking Trail. This 1,4 mile trail traverses through spectacular rock formations, valleys and natural meadows of the park.

The park is known for its very large red sandstone outcrops. Many of these rock formations within the park have names, from the mushroom-shaped Seat of Pluto to the inclined Cave of the Seven Ladders. The most visited rocks, around Red Rocks Amphitheatre, are Creation Rock to the north, Ship Rock to the south, and Stage Rock to the east. The red sandstone found throughout Red Rocks Park is geologically identified as belonging to the Fountain Formation.
