Echo Amphitheater

Description: Echo Amphitheater is a natural theater with a great echo in the Carlson National Forest. It's easy to get to because it's right off Highway 84. If you're coming from Abiquiu and heading north, you'll pass right by it.

There are several legends surrounding the theater and the vertical stripes on the rocks. One says that they are blood stripes that came from executed farmers from the area. 

Our rating: For us, this was not the very biggest attraction. But with the legends and the echo, it is so interesting that it is worth a little stop.
