Willowbrook Amphitheatre

Chief Colorow's Cave' other wise known as “Willowbrook Amphitheater,”[1] is a cave-like structure composed of Paleozoic Age Fountain Formation sandstone. The top is open to the sky. Willowbrook Amphitheatre is located in the Willowbrook subdivision[2] in Jefferson County,[3] near Morrison, Colorado, south of Red Rocks Park and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.[2] It is located on private land, and is restricted to the use of the association residents for weddings and local events.[1]

Colorow's Cafe was named for Chief Colorow who is said to have used the cave along with his band for temporary shelter during his summer visits.[4]
