RED ROCKS AMPITHEATRE
In the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, about 15 miles west of town—sheltered by a starry sky and bookended by Ship Rock and Creation Rock, two sandstone ledges taller than Niagara Falls—Bob Dylan, Snow Patrol, and Diana Krall never sounded so good.

ROCKMOUNT RANCH WEAR
Stop in to chat with Papa Jack, the 106-year-old founder of Rockmount Ranch Wear. He may be right when he says, “There’s no Westerner like an Easterner,” but that shouldn’t stop you from buying a bona fide cowboy shirt. After all, they were good enough for Ennis and Jack up on Brokeback Mountain. Also check out the “Cowgirls Forever”–studded belts.

THE TATTERED COVER
One of the best bookstores anywhere and undoubtedly responsible for Denver’s claim to have the second-most-educated population in the U.S., after New York.
