Quick Photo-Op To Red Rocks - Exactly what we hoped for — quick in and out to Red Rocks, and some drive-by sightseeing in Golden and the surrounding area. Not a ton of time, but this is by design. It is just enough to experience Red Rocks, get your photos, and get back to town in just about two hours. Glad I did not need to rent a car. Tour guide Matt was a fun goofball — that’s a GOOD thing — who kept things fun and entertaining during the drive there and back.

Red Rocks – A Special Place For Music and Nature - I enjoyed the Red Rocks Express Tour from Denver, leaving from Union Station and passing a few sites on our way to the destination. Mark was our guide and provided informative narrative of Denver, Union Station, Red Rocks and Golden CO.
Our trip was on a crisp Monday morning at 9:00 am in September and we all met at Union Station to board the small but comfortable tour bus for our trip to Red Rocks. The drive there was informative, with Mark providing information and tidbits about Denver, events and attractions. Mark was very thoughtful and accommodating making sure everyone was able to hear him during the ride to and from Red rocks.
The best part of the trip was actually spending a good part of the 50 minutes allotted to the main stop was to see and take pictures of Red Rocks. It was an amazing sight to be there and experience the setting at Red Rocks. You need to be aware and account for your physical capabilities, in case you want to go all the way down the steps and then have to come backup. I ended going down half way, walking across a few times and then heading back up.
There were not too many people there on a Monday, but a few were doing exercise, most were taking pictures and some of the older folks stayed on the upper section without going down too many steps. There is a certain invisible energy when you walk and move through Red Rocks. I really enjoyed the scenery and could see a faint outline of Denver in the distant haze.
Inside the small museum there, a few dinosaur fossils, some pictures and models of Red Rocks is the story of the place it’s self. Further alone inside, there is the Music Hall of Fame of all the artists who have performed at Red Rocks, including the Beatles, U2 and too many others to mention. There is also a small café for some food or drink, plus some vending machines.
On the way back to Denver, we paid a short visit to Golder CO, which has it’s own history and is a model mountain town. Besides having the Mine College, some interesting restaurants and shops, the main Coors Brewery is located here and has a large presence. We went through the middle of town and under the Welcome arch, before heading out to the express road back to Denver.
I wish we had more time to spend at Red Rocks to take in more of the natural beauty of the place. I did enjoy the tour trip to Red Rocks and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature, music and does not have a lot of time for a longer visit to such a special place.

Red Rocks short tour - This tour is perfect if you are short on time, don't have a car, or both. The pickup location is convenient. There was just enough time to explore Red Rocks and take in the spectacular views. Our guide, Brian, was very informative and entertaining. The van was comfortable.
