True Colors of Red

"Red Rocks Park" is a mountain park owned and maintained by the city of Denver and known for its very large red sandstone outcroppings, formed millions of years ago. Red Rocks Park is best known for its rocks that "frame" the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. However, unbeknownst to many, the rocks are many colors, not just red.
