In Denver for work and this place has been on my bucket list. Would love to see a concert but I always wanted to walk around the area since seeing Chris Powell on Extreme Weightloss take contestants here.
10 miles west of Denver it was easy to get to once we made it through the traffic. The sun stays up longer here so we had no worries.
The drive up the hill was beautiful. There are a few different entrances. I can't imagine getting out of here after a concert. Jim, Sue and I decided to be work BFF's and get some exercise in after a great day of training.
Once we hit the top of the hill we were at the Visitor Center of the Amphitheater. It was Amazing!
We decided to walk across each bleacher skipping every other one. Top to Bottom. The people were a mix of everything. Walkers like us, extreme athletes climbing over brick areas on the side. Runners, people jumping the bleachers, doing squats, push ups. It was EXTREME!!
Had a great hike! We talked about our day and plans for tomorrow. Laughed about our night before celebrating a Birthday. GET OFF MY TRAIN!

Once we finished and were shocked that we had done over 4 miles we headed back down the trail. A family of deer were eating off the trail. This little guy came right up to us.
Had a great hike! We talked about our day and plans for tomorrow. Laughed about our night before celebrating a Birthday. GET OFF MY TRAIN!
