Colorado Amphitheater
Colorado Amphitheater, Stone amphitheater near South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado.
The natural stone amphitheater stands at the base of South Table Mountain, featuring architectural elements from the Works Progress Administration period.
Built in 1935 under architect Frank J. Ardourel, the amphitheater served Camp George West of the Colorado National Guard for military film screenings.
