The drive In to the movie theater was just as gorgeous as the drive-in theater itself! The red rocks are absolutely beautiful and the view is to die for!! On this specific night we got to watch the moon rise over the mountain right as the movie ended and it was a sight to see!” – Paige H. from Lompoc, California.
