What To Expect

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

For the past 35 years, this stunning 9000 seat theater has provided unparalleled views of the area's breathtaking scenery, the latter of which serves as an ideal backdrop for the Theater's stage. Unlike any other establishment of its type in the United States, the Red Rocks Amphitheater is truly a sight to behold.

Evergreen

Evergreen’s historic Main Street, bordered between a pink cliff wall of boulders and the rapidly flowing mountain waters of Bear Creek is compact, but full of irresistible fine arts, crafts and gifts worthy of any home, as well as bistros, coffee shops, boutiques, specialty shopping, and live music.

Evergreen Lake

Drive by the 55 acre Evergreen Lake Park, the recreational jewel of Evergreen. Home to the Evergreen Lakehouse, this is the perfect spot for q quick escape into nature.

Echo Lake Park

We will have a picnic lunch at Echo Lake. It is a shallow, oligotrophic lake situated at 10,600 ft (3,230 m) above sea level near Mount Evans in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It formed during the latest period of glaciation roughly 10,000 years ago. As glaciers retreated in the Chicago Creek valley, lateral moraines formed a natural dam to drainage, forming the lake.

Mount Evans Scenic Byway

Be ready for some of the most incredible views, the byway is 28 miles (45 km) in length and gains over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) of elevation and then hike the rest of the way and you’ve climbed a 14er! Chance to see bighorn sheep, mountain goats, marmots in their natural habitat. Enjoy incredible views, in a comfortable ride.

Idaho Springs

Founded 162 years ago in 1859 by prospectors during the early days of the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, the town was at the center of the region's mining district throughout the late nineteenth century.
