George Cranmer, Manager of Denver Parks, convinced the City of Denver to purchase the area of Red Rocks from Walker for the price of $54,133. Walker produced a number of concerts between 19 on a temporary platform and from his dream, the history of Red Rocks as an entertainment venue began. In the early 1900's, John Brisben Walker had a vision of artists performing on a stage nestled into the perfectly acoustic surroundings of Red Rocks. The majestic setting of the amphitheater, along with the panoramic view of Denver, makes for a breathtaking scene. The area of Red Rocks, originally known as the Garden of Angels, has attracted the attention of musical performers since before the turn of the century. As spectators gaze at the towering red sandstone rocks, they view the ancient tales of prehistoric times. The dramatic sandstone monoliths serve as a history book of animal and plant life in the area for the past 250 million years. With Mother Nature as the architect, the design of the Amphitheatre consists of two, three hundred-foot monoliths (Ship Rock and Creation Rock) that provide acoustic perfection for any performance. Red Rocks is a geologically formed, open-air amphitheater that is not duplicated anywhere in the world.
