Red Rocks Amphitheater 10 miles outside of Denver was opened in
1906 by a man named John Brisben Walker. It is a natural rock formation with
perfect acoustics. From there the City of Denver bought it from him in 1927 for
$54,133 which doesn't seem like much. But for the time it was close to what
would be just under a million dollars. Using the Civilian Conservation Corps,
the mayor at the time Benjamin Franklin Stapleton commissioned the new stage to
be built over Walker's original stage. Building began in 1927 and finished in
1936. It was opened to the public in 1941.
My husband and I went up there this weekend. So much going on.
Exercise groups. People working out. Friends and families walking the steps.
Dogs and owners enjoying the sunshine.
Just being outdoors helps me to focus on writing when we return.
His divine power has given to us all
things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who
called us by glory and virtue 2 Peter 1:3
