Summer is finally here, and as the weather continues to warm and the daylight stretches even later, it's the perfect season to spend quality time soaking in the sun outside with loved ones. And what better way to do that than with a picnic?
LoveFood searched around the country for the "most scenic picnic spots" in every state, gorgeous destinations to lay out a blanket, crack open a basket full of your favorite summertime treats, and enjoy a meal with friends and family.
According to the site, the top spot in all of Colorado is Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. With relaxing views of the surrounding natural beauty, this place is the perfect backdrop for a memorable picnic.
Here's what the site had to say about this beautiful Centennial State spot:
"A little outside Denver, Red Rocks is best known as an iconic concert venue — but it's also packed with picnicking potential. The pavilion offers views of the geologically formed amphitheater and Denver skyline beyond, while there are also prime spots along trails that weave through the park's rock-strewn landscape. You can enter the amphitheater on non-concert days."
