Red Rocks Amphitheatre Concert Transportation Guide

Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison is one of the most famous concert venues in the world. It is also a long drive up, a big walk from the lots and a slow exit after the show. A private ride makes the whole night easier.

Why a party bus is the classic Red Rocks ride

The concert starts on the ride up. A party bus or Sprinter lets your group arrive together and leave together, and nobody has to stay sober to drive the canyon roads home.

What to expect at the venue

Red Rocks sets its own rules for drop-off, parking and large vehicles, and they can vary by show. Your chauffeur follows the venue’s current instructions. Wear good shoes: expect hills and stairs, and bring layers because evenings in the foothills can get cold quickly.
