Welcome to a place where landscape meets legacy — a learning space rooted in the towering sandstone of Red Rocks Park in Morrison, Colorado. This site is dedicated to uncovering the layered history and cultural complexity of one of America’s most iconic natural landmarks. As educators, historians, and lifelong learners, we believe Red Rocks is far more than a concert venue. It’s a living classroom.

Here, music is only one voice among many. Long before the amphitheatre was built, this land echoed with the footsteps of Indigenous peoples, the ambitions of settlers, and the far-reaching impact of New Deal programs. We invite you to explore the lesser-known narratives — of visionaries like John B. Walker, of political struggle, forced land condemnation, and the quiet persistence of nature through it all.

Whether you’re a teacher seeking curriculum inspiration, a student with questions, or a curious visitor eager to understand the deeper story, this site offers a space for discovery. Red Rocks is not just a destination. It’s an ongoing conversation about stewardship, history, power, and place.

Thank you for being part of it.
