Travel Days: Denver- Red Rocks!

November 8, 2017

Last month I took a quick (3 day) weekend trip to Denver with Thenewguy and it was a great time! I wish we had more time but I hope to return.

On our list was to go to Red Rocks for a show, Get Voodoo Donuts, visit some dispensaries, and just generally enjoy being in a new city and away for the weekend. We got to do it all and more!

Today I just want to share how awesome seeing Deadmau5 at Red Rocks was! We got so lucky that it just so happened there was a show we wanted to see playing that Friday night. We got in super early so we could have time to explore, eat and relax.

Some things to share….

– Everyone told us it would super cold as the night wore on so we layered up. When we first got there it was 73….I was dying. But we were super glad we listened because by 11:00 it was FREEZING.

– The hike up there is not an effing joke. I had to keep taking a break because my chunky butt does not do well with altitude and stairs or inclines.

taking a photo break on the way up…I was sweating by this point

– Sitting all the way up top was sooo freaking cool.  You can see everything beyond the stage and the sound is still fantastic!

– Deadmau5 puts on a fan-freaking-tastic show…which I knew because I went to Northcoast Music Festival in August but still…awesome.

 
 
 
– Taking a shuttle there and back through CID Colorado  for $35(roundtrip) was perfect! We met them up at Illegal Petes and had a nice warm ride there and back! They had snacks and water bottles for everyone when we got back and we didn’t have to worry about how much we drank, looking for parking or driving anywhere.

and just some more pictures because why not??

    My friends moved to Colorado last year, and seeing a show here is at the top of my list when I go to visit! That shuttle sounds perfect too- no need to worry about drinking!
