The amphitheater is available for use by the general public and can be reserved for private events. The maximum number of people allowed at the amphitheater is 50.

Starting from the Maroon Bells Scenic Area, the West Maroon Trail winds through aspen groves, crosses streams, and switchbacks through forests. Climbing to alpine terrain, backpackers will find high mountain lakes and a smattering of wildflowers in early summer.
