Some city parks have gazebos, lakes, fountains and jogging trails. Denver’s parks have those, plus: a 1,000-year-old fen, two bison herds, a ski resort, a lake at 13,000 feet in altitude and an amphitheater framed by 300-million-old sandstone monoliths.

Denver has 20,000 acres of parks and the bulk — 14,000 acres — are spread through the mountains west of the city.

Denver also boasts the country’s highest city park: Summit Lake Park at 13,000 feet, on the road to the summit of 14,264-foot Mount Evans, about 60 miles southwest of Denver.

Red Rocks Park, in the foothills 18 miles west of Denver, has picnic sites, trails, buildings constructed by the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps and a world-renowned amphitheater nestled between 300-foot, red sandstone formations that rise out of the ground, jutting toward the sky.

The Beatles took the stage there in August 1964. Rock group U2’s 1983 rain-drenched concert at Red Rocks spawned a famous video of their performance of “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”

“Red Rocks is one of the places you take your cousins when they’re in town,” said Susan Baird, Denver’s natural resources planner.

Knomo bag:

First look: “Beautiful handbag,” remarked a flight attendant as I stored the Knomo bag in the overhead compartment above my seat. “Thanks,” I answered, “but it’s not a handbag. It’s a laptop bag.” The canvas and leather bag — the one I carried was chocolate and tan — fits most 15-inch laptops, is lightweight (2.43 pounds) and lightly padded. Three internal compartments and a zippered back pocket help organize material. The bag has a two-year guarantee.

Likes and yikes: The beauty of the Knomo bag is that it can be used as either a smart-looking handbag or as an efficient laptop bag. It is roomy enough to store files, laptop paraphernalia, a cell phone and other travel necessities. But my favorite thing about it: The top is magnetized to close automatically.

Negatives: Because the padding inside isn’t very thick, a dropped bag could cause havoc with your laptop.

The 411: $295, available in four colors and fabrics. Call (800) 737-5160 or visit www.knomo.com. Also available at Benchley Luggage Ltd. in Newport Beach.
