Golden sure is lovely swathed in a coat of new snow.
Big mountains lurking in the distance.
Buffalo Bill in the snow.

Out at Red Rocks. Gorgeous!
Clear Creek almost completely frozen over.
Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me at Red Rocks
Heather and I headed over to Red Rocks Amphitheater for a live taping of Wait Wait Don’t Tell me, the NPR news quiz. Had we known the traffic would be such a nightmare, we would have ridden our bicycles or walked.
Walking in toward the amphitheater.
Up the steps and into the amphitheater. Becky saved us some seats. We were JUST in time for the start of the show.
Looking down on the stage. This might be the biggest crowd that the cast of Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me has ever performed in front of.
The lights come on as the sun sinks in the west.
Moon hanging high in the sky to the south.
After the show.
Red Rocks Amphitheater
We paid a visit to the Red Rocks Amphitheater south of Golden. Even in the middle of the day when there isn’t a show going on the place is still packed.
There were many people working out in the amphitheater and on the top concession deck.
Looking down on the amphitheater and all of the people working out. We were getting winded just walking up and down a flight of stairs. Hopefully soon I will be acclimated to the altitude and will be able to work out like this.
Red Rocks sure is a striking venue!
These people are hardcore!
Going through the tunnel down the mountain.
Looking back toward Red Rocks. It reminds me quite a bit of Vasquez Rocks outside Los Angeles. The color of the rocks also reminds me of Uluru in Australia.
