If you hail from the great Centennial State, you know that it is the most beautiful place in the world, but when outsiders acknowledge it, too, you know we have to share! Case in point: Country Living magazine just released its list of the 45 Most Beautiful Places in the US to Add to Your Bucket List Right Now, and it includes our very own Red Rocks Ampitheatre:

According to Country Living, the venue is as iconic as it is stunning, citing its high elevation (6,000 feet above sea level) and legendary performances by the Beatles, Blues Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, and the Grateful Dead.
