Free entry! 🎉 But arrive early—parking is limited! 🚗 Massive red rock formations perfect for hiking and photos 🏞️📸. ⚠️ Watch out for rattlesnakes in the grass! 🐍 🏔️ Pikes Peak An absolute highlight! $17 per vehicle 💵. Summit at 14,115 ft (4,302 m)—the highest peak in the U.S.! 🌄 Bundle up—it’s cold and altitude sickness is real! ❄️🧥 Scenic drive with ever-changing views, wildlife sightings (think pikas and wildflowers 🌸🐿️), and America’s highest railway station at the top! 🚉 🎸 Red Rocks Amphitheater A must-visit for music and nature lovers! Check their for events—sometimes closed for concerts! 🎶 If open, the acoustics and views are mind-blowing! 🎤❤️ 🦖 Dinosaur Ridge If you still have energy, head here! Fossil exhibits and stunning landscape views 🦴🌄.
