RED ROCKS PARK and AMPHITHEATER

Red Rocks Park and Red Rocks Amphitheater, near Morrison, Colorado, ten miles (16 km) west of Denver. Definitely the most breathtaking place to see and visit. I’m in my traditional Vietnamese dress, it’s the most elegant dress for any special occasions. Wearing this dress is definitely for pictures purposes only. I would not recommend wearing thin clothing or high heels, do to weather conditions and lots of climbing and walking. Bring extra shoes and clothes to change.

North Table Mountain Hike

North Table Mountain is a mesa on the eastern flank of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 6,555-foot (1,998 m) mesa summit is located in North Table Mountain Park. This park has no shade and tends to get really hot. But it gives you a very nice walk, and if you have a bike, most people bike up this mountain too! This mountain was formed by lava about 60 million years ago and now you are able to enjoy panoramic views and plus a view down at the town below. This is a perfect place for a hike near Denver if you have limited time on your hands and need some fresh air. The surroundings are really peaceful as not many tourists comes here, but this mountain park is huge that it has approx 20kms of trials all around it. Do plan your trip when visiting here, as there are places to visit in the west, south and east of the mesa. This park is open all year round but do take note that south side of the mesa has some preservation going on at times. Also, do not go off track because there might be rattles snakes around the area and other creatures around. A tip when coming to Denver, come during summer and not winter. Because winter here is often below zero and you will face heavy snow which most of the time be spent in your home. #hiking #hike #mountains #naturalwonders #mountain #hot #denver #colorado #america #views #panoramic #panoramicviews #awesomepic #summervacation #adventure

Red Rocks Amphitheatre
