COLORADO Before you depart for the show, check weather conditions, wear appropriate footwear and pack layers, sun protection and rain gear so you can enjoy every moment. Dillon Amphitheater Las Colonias Park Amphitheater Just minutes from downtown Grand Junction, Las Colonias Park Amphitheater sits along the Colorado River, framed by the rust-colored Bookcliffs and the flat-topped Grand Mesa. Come early to explore the riverwalk trail that winds through the park before the music kicks off. Grab something to eat from the food trucks lined up near the entrance then set up on the grassy lawn with a blanket or low-back chair to jam out. JOHN VERWEY Dillon Amphitheater Sailboats crisscross the crystal-blue reservoir that serves as the backdrop for this stunning stage on the banks of Lake Dillon. Sit back and relax as you watch a vibrant summer sunset reflected across the sparkling water, listening to the voices of established and emerging artists echo through the valley. The Dillon Amphitheater is a bit of a hidden gem in Colorado, where fans of the venue itself often book tickets every year, with the music as a secondary — but crucial — factor. COLORADO . COM 71
