The moment the red sandstone monoliths appear on the approach — Ship Rock climbing up on one side, Creation Rock rising on the other — you understand why nobody thinks to warn you about what comes next. Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre (18300 W. Alameda Parkway, Morrison, CO 80465) sits 15 miles west of downtown Denver at 6,450 feet above sea level, and it runs more than 150 events every season in a natural bowl that seats 9,525 people across 70 rows of bleachers carved into a Colorado mountainside. The shows are genuinely unlike anything else in the country.
Getting there and getting home on a sold-out night is a different story. I-70 westbound backs up hard at the Morrison exit, W. Alameda Parkway funnels every arriving vehicle through two narrow mountain lanes, and when the final song ends, 9,000-plus people all reach for their phones at once — hitting the same rideshare apps from the same Jurassic Lot, the only post-show pickup point the venue permits, roughly a mile downhill from the South Gate.
Renting a bus to Red Rocks Amphitheatre solves a specific set of problems that most Denver venues never create: the altitude approach, the oversized-vehicle lot assignments, the 48-hour reservation that unlocks the Upper North Lot for qualifying buses, and the coordinated Jurassic Lot pickup window that turns the post-show exodus from a logistics scramble into a clean exit. Below is the complete picture — where the bus drops, which lot it uses, the reservation process, both approach routes, the post-show pickup logistics, and everything else a group trip planner actually needs before hitting the mountains. All of it is pulled from the venue's own published policies, so there's no guessing at a closed gate. denverpartybus.org connects you to quotes from a large network of bus companies serving Denver — one quick form or a call to 720-597-7100, and pricing for your date and group size comes back in under 30 seconds.
Why Rent a Bus to Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks has a parking situation that catches first-timers off guard: there is no paid parking in the traditional sense. Parking is bundled into most event tickets at no separate vehicle charge — but "free" doesn't mean "close." The Upper North Lot, which offers the shortest walk to the stage, fills over an hour before showtime on popular nights.
When the lots reach capacity, traffic control directs overflow to the Jurassic Lot — roughly one mile from the South Gate, after a downhill walk on a mountain road that has no lighting after dark. Then, when the show ends, you walk that mile back uphill to find your car, sit in the lot while 9,000 other cars all try to exit the same narrow approach road, and drive down a mountain. A Denver charter bus rental removes that entire sequence from your night.
The group-size math works in the bus's favor too. Twelve people means at least three cars — three different parking situations to coordinate, three separate rideshares to split across on the ride home with post-show surge pricing, and at least three people who spend the show thinking about driving back instead of watching the stage. One Denver concert bus rental keeps everyone together from pickup in the city to the Jurassic Lot pickup after the last song — no splitting the group, no coordinating carpools on a mountain road in the dark.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
This is the section most group trip guides get wrong about Red Rocks: not all buses use the same drop-off point, and the lot your vehicle is assigned to determines how far your group walks. The rules come directly from the official Red Rocks getting here page, and they depend on your vehicle's size and passenger count.
Passenger Drop-Off: Top Circle Lot and the Trading Post Intersection
Standard passenger drop-off for limos and shuttle buses is at the Top Circle Lot via Entrance 1 off Highway 93 — the entry closest to the Creation Rock side of the venue and the Upper North Lot. The Red Rocks Park Road / Trading Post Road intersection at Entrance 2 (also off Highway 93) serves as the secondary passenger drop-off point and is where rideshare and taxi drop-offs happen as well. Entrance 2 also leads to the Jurassic Lot, which is the post-show pickup point for all vehicles — so if your group's bus is staging for the end-of-night pickup, the approach is already familiar from the evening's drop-off run.
Oversized Vehicles: Lower South Lot 2 Is Mandatory for Most Buses
Any vehicle 6'5" wide or larger — which covers virtually every full-size charter bus and party bus — is classified as an oversized vehicle by Red Rocks and directed to Lower South Lot 2. Lower South Lot 2 sits south of the Trading Post, to the right of Lower South Lot 1 along Red Rocks Park Road. From Lower South Lot 2, the walk to the amphitheatre follows the Trading Post Trail uphill — a route the Westword Red Rocks parking guide puts at 15 to 30 minutes depending on pace and seating section.
That estimate is for a well-rested concertgoer arriving before the show. After the show, in the dark, on a mountain trail, the walk back feels longer. That uphill hike is the specific logistical problem the Upper North Lot reservation solves.
Lower South Lot 2 is the default for any bus 6'5" or wider. The walk from that lot to the venue via Trading Post Trail is 15 to 30 minutes uphill on mountain terrain. The Upper North Lot reservation changes that to a short staircase — but it requires 24+ passenger capacity, 85% occupancy, and a form submitted at least 48 hours before the event.
The Reservation That Changes the Walk: Upper North Lot
Here is the move most group trip planners miss. Per the official Red Rocks transportation page, buses and vans with a capacity of 24 or more passengers that are at least 85% full can reserve parking in the Upper North Lot — the closest lot to the venue, with stairs leading directly to the Creation Rock entrance at the top of the amphitheatre. The reservation must be submitted at least 48 hours before the event through an online form linked on the getting-here page.
Fill the bus to 85% of its seats, submit the form 48 hours out, and your group's walk goes from a 30-minute mountain trail to a short staircase. That one reservation is the biggest operational difference between a smooth Red Rocks group arrival and a long uphill hike at altitude. When you request your quote through denverpartybus.org, flag the reservation — it's a detail worth building the vehicle selection around.
Post-Show Pickup: Jurassic Lot, Entrance 2, and Nowhere Else
End-of-show vehicle pickup — rideshare, private bus, limo — happens at the Jurassic Lot near Entrance 2 off Highway 93 only, per the venue's official FAQ. The Jurassic Lot sits about one mile from the South Gate, and the recommended walking route from the amphitheatre follows the Will Call Trail (across from the Trading Post) and then down Red Rocks Park Road. Your group needs to know this before the show starts: agree on a specific pickup window, and the bus stages at the Jurassic Lot at that time.
That arrangement eliminates the post-show rideshare surge entirely — more on that surge in the section below.
Red Rocks Transportation: Every Option Your Group Should Know
Red Rocks is a mountain venue 15 miles from the city, and the realistic options for getting 12-plus people there and back are narrower than you'd expect for a 9,500-person event. Here's how the major approaches compare on what actually matters for a group.
| Option | Cost shape | Group arrives together? | Post-show pickup | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Pre-arranged at Jurassic Lot, bus waiting when you exit | Groups of 15–56 |
| Private minibus | Flat rate, lower than full charter bus | Yes — up to 35 seats | Same — Jurassic Lot, arranged in advance | Mid-size groups of 15–35 |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | Per car each way + post-show surge (2x–3x reported) | No — multiple cars, staggered arrivals | Jurassic Lot, 20–40 min wait at surge pricing | 1–4 people |
| Drive and park | Typically included in ticket price; Upper North fills 60+ min before doors | No — caravans split across lots | Walk to car, wait for lot clearance | 1–2 cars arriving very early |
| RTD public transit | Per ticket | Only if the group coordinates the same bus/train | Limited post-show service; connection required back to city | Individuals comfortable with multi-leg transfers |
For a couple or a pair, rideshare or driving is entirely reasonable — there is no need to charter a bus for two people. Once the group grows past three cars' worth of people, though, the coordination math tips toward one vehicle: multiple arrival times, scattered lot assignments in the mountains, and a post-show rideshare line from the Jurassic Lot that catches every drive-and-park group at the same moment the rideshare surge hits. One bus clears all of it at once.
The Two Routes to Red Rocks on a Concert Night
Every navigation app from downtown Denver sends you the same direction: I-70 westbound. That is the logical choice — it's 15 miles, typically 25 to 35 minutes under normal conditions, and Exit 259 (Morrison Road) puts you on a straight shot to the park. On a sold-out concert night, "normal" disappears somewhere around 4:30 PM.
The I-70 westbound corridor backs up at the C-470 merge and again at the Morrison Road exit, and W. Alameda Parkway — the two-lane mountain road that is the only vehicle approach into the park — becomes the final chokepoint that every arriving car funnels through. Traffic planners advise arriving at least 90 minutes before doors on high-demand shows. The Upper North Lot fills over an hour before showtime.
Double the normal drive time on nights when the bowl is sold out and you'll have a realistic buffer.
The alternate route locals use to avoid the worst of I-70: take US-285 southwest from Denver toward the foothills, then pick up Highway 8 north to the park's southern entrances off Highway 74. It runs slightly longer in miles but frequently clears the I-70 jam — and the approach from the south feeds the park's southern entrances, which tend to move faster than Entrance 1. For groups coming from I-25 south or the Tech Center corridor, the C-470 to Highway 74 swing is another clean option that bypasses the Morrison Road exit backup entirely.
Either southern route arrives at the Lower South Lots and Upper South Lot side of the park, while the I-70/Exit 259 approach naturally feeds Entrance 1 and the Upper North Lot side.
After the Show: The Jurassic Lot, the Rideshare Surge, and Why the Bus Wins
Post-show at Red Rocks is where the transportation decision matters most — and where first-timers get caught the hardest. When the headliner wraps and 9,525 people begin moving toward the exits, every rideshare app covering the Denver metro gets hammered with simultaneous requests from the Jurassic Lot. Surge pricing spikes to reported rates of 2x to 3x base fare almost immediately.
Wait times run 20 to 40 minutes in the parking area. Wireless service at 6,450 feet gets spotty under heavy load, which means requesting the ride when you actually need it can take longer than the wait itself. And the walk from the amphitheatre to the Jurassic Lot follows the Will Call Trail in the dark, on mountain terrain, a mile each way.
A private bus handles this differently. The pickup window is set before the show starts — 45 minutes after the headliner's typical set end time works for most concerts — and the bus is staged at the Jurassic Lot when your group walks down. No app to open, no queue, no surge arithmetic.
Everyone gets on and the ride back to Denver is already taken care of. On a sold-out night at altitude, that pre-arranged window is worth more than any amenity on the vehicle itself.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for Red Rocks?
The Upper North Lot reservation changes how you think about vehicle sizing at Red Rocks. The threshold is 24 passengers at 85% or more of the vehicle's capacity — which means a 28-seat minibus needs 24 people aboard to qualify, and a full charter bus at 56 seats needs 48. Building your group to clear that threshold before you book unlocks the closer lot.
Here is how the full vehicle lineup fits a Red Rocks trip:
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Qualifies for Upper North Lot reservation? | Best for | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van / 14-passenger Sprinter limo | Up to ~14 | No — under 24-seat threshold | Small VIP groups, suite-style concert transfers | Premium leather, USB charging at every seat, tinted privacy windows |
| 25-passenger party bus / 28-passenger party bus | ~25–28 | Yes, if headcount meets 85% of seats | Mid-size fan groups wanting a festive atmosphere on the way up | Color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, bar area, flat-panel TVs |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Yes at 28+ seats if 24+ passengers aboard | Corporate concert outings, organized group trips, wedding parties | Reclining seats, powerful A/C, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Yes — easily qualifies once 85% full | Large fan groups, corporate outings, multi-city concert tours | Reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays, WiFi, power outlets |
One thing specific to Red Rocks that doesn't factor into most group transportation decisions: altitude. Summer nights at 6,450 feet drop sharply after the sun sets, even in July and August — 20 to 30 degrees is a common swing. The ride back to Denver in a climate-controlled bus solves the "I'm freezing on the mountain trail at midnight" problem that catches first-timers every summer.
A full-size charter bus also brings undercarriage bays, which means layers, blankets, and any gear your group wants to stash for the walk back all travel below without crowding the cabin. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — flag it in your quote request and the right vehicle can be arranged.
Red Rocks Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices
Pricing for a Denver party bus or charter bus to Red Rocks moves with the vehicle size, total hours on the rental (covering the ride in, any wait time, and the post-show pickup window), the event date, and how far the starting point is from the venue. denverpartybus.org makes it easy to compare quotes in under 30 seconds through a large network of bus companies serving Denver — no account required, no obligation to book. To give you a planning sense of what rate ranges look like:
A minibus typically runs $200–$250/hour on weekdays and $200–$275/hour on weekends, with per-day rates from $1,100–$2,150. A full charter bus runs roughly $200–$350/hour on weekdays and weekends alike, with per-day rates from $1,350–$2,850. Party buses vary more by size — a 25-passenger party bus typically runs $275–$375/hour on weekends, while a 50-passenger party bus can run $325–$500/hour.
These are planning ranges to give you an idea, not quotes for any specific date — the actual number for your trip depends on the full itinerary. Check the Denver party bus prices page for more on rate structures, or call 720-597-7100 any time to get a number for your specific date and group size.
The per-person math helps put it in perspective. A 40-passenger charter bus for a 6-hour Red Rocks run — pickup in LoDo, show, and post-show Jurassic Lot pickup — might come to roughly $1,800 to $2,200, which works out to about $45 to $55 per person across a full group. Compare that to three rounds of rideshare for 40 people, each leg at post-show surge rates, with the group scattered across multiple cars and 20-to-40-minute waits in the mountain dark.
A Red Rocks Example
To give you an idea: a 38-person group heading to a Brandi Carlile show books a 40-passenger charter bus from Capitol Hill. Pickup at 5:45 PM, Upper North Lot reservation submitted 72 hours in advance (38 of 40 seats — well above 85%), drop-off via Entrance 1 by 6:50 PM. The group walks a short staircase to the Creation Rock entrance instead of the Trading Post Trail.
Post-show pickup window: 11:00 PM at the Jurassic Lot. Everyone is back on the bus before the rideshare queue at Entrance 2 has cleared. A 7-hour rental at that size in that range: roughly $2,100, or about $55 per person — with the Upper North Lot reservation factored in from the start.
Tailgating at Red Rocks: What the Park Actually Allows
Red Rocks is a city park in Jefferson County, not a private venue with a tailgate lot — and the rules reflect that. They are strictly enforced, and the constraints are meaningfully different from what sports-venue tailgaters typically expect.
Tailgating is permitted in the parking lots but confined to the space directly behind your vehicle. You cannot hold adjacent spots, spread across multiple spaces, or block traffic lanes — if your group wants to set up together, you arrive together and park together. Open flame fires and charcoal grills are prohibited throughout the park because of wildfire risk in the mountains.
Small propane grills are allowed when no active fire bans are in effect, with the grill at least 12 inches off the ground and the flame no higher than 6 inches. Amplified music, tents, canopies, and portable generators are not permitted in the lots. Glass is prohibited everywhere in the park — in the parking areas and inside the venue.
No overnight camping is allowed in vehicles, lots, or natural areas.
A charter bus with undercarriage bays handles the gear question cleanly — chairs, blankets for the cold walk back, small soft-sided coolers — all stowed below. The bus itself parks in Lower South Lot 2 unless the Upper North Lot reservation is in place. Review the full tailgate guidelines on the official Red Rocks FAQ page before your visit so nothing gets flagged at the lot entrance.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre: What to Know Before You Go
The bag policy updated in 2026. Multi-pocket bags are no longer permitted — this catches a lot of people at the gate. Allowed bags: single-pocket styles no larger than 13" × 15" × 8", small purses and fanny packs at 6" × 9" or smaller, and hydration packs up to 2 liters.
Small soft-sided coolers (10" × 7" × 7" maximum) are also allowed. All possessions must fit under your designated seat — the space is 18" × 12". Clear bags move through security faster and are always welcome.
The full list is on the official permitted and prohibited items page — read it before you pack.
The park closes at 2 PM on event days and reopens when lots open, two hours before event door time. If anyone in your group plans to hike Red Rocks before the show, they need to be out of the park by 2 PM — there is no return access until lots reopen. No re-entry once you leave the venue.
Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended: depending on which lot your bus parks in and where your seats are, you're navigating mountain terrain, partially dirt paths, and stairs in both directions. Dress in layers: temperatures at 6,450 feet drop 20 to 30 degrees after sunset even in summer, and a warm layer stashed in the bus for the walk out is not overcautious — it's common sense. The venue contact number is 720-865-2494 if anyone in your group needs information or gets separated.
Red Rocks Events That Fill Buses First
Red Rocks runs more than 150 events between late March and late October every year, and a handful consistently generate the earliest bus requests from Denver groups — either because the shows sell out months in advance, or because the transportation challenge spikes sharply on those specific dates.
Multi-night headliner runs. Artists who do two- and three-night residencies at Red Rocks — Brandi Carlile, Nathaniel Rateliff, and others who return year after year — pull from the Denver-area vehicle supply across multiple consecutive nights. The 2026 calendar includes three-night runs like Brandi Carlile with Stephen Wilson Jr. (September 11–13) and multi-night runs from LCD Soundsystem, Andrea Bocelli, and Zac Brown Band with Grace Potter.
When one group books a charter bus for night one of a three-night run, the remaining buses for nights two and three get thinner fast. Book as soon as your date is confirmed.
Yoga on the Rocks. Saturday mornings from June through August, two sessions beginning around 7 AM and 9 AM — $23 a ticket, 2,500 people per session, and popular dates sell out within hours of on-sale. A minibus from LoDo or the Denver Tech Center arriving at the Upper North Lot by 6:30 AM means no I-70 morning construction delays and no parking scramble before 9,000 feet of altitude yoga.
The 2026 Yoga on the Rocks dates include August sessions on August 1, 8, 15, and 29, with additional fall programming. Check the full Red Rocks events calendar for current Yoga on the Rocks dates.
Film on the Rocks. Summer Monday and Tuesday nights — a local band opener before the film plays at dusk. The 2026 lineup includes "Bridesmaids" on August 3 and "Jurassic Park" on August 10 (with a National Geographic paleontologist appearing before the screening).
These events draw a heavy first-timer crowd, including a lot of people who haven't dealt with the Jurassic Lot situation at 11 PM before. A private bus removes that surprise from everyone's night.
Late-fall shows: Haunted Rocks and October headliners. Red Rocks stretches deep into October, and late-season dates bring colder temperatures that make the Lower South Lot 2 uphill trail significantly harder — a 30-minute hike at altitude in 35-degree temperatures feels different than the same trail in August. A charter bus with an Upper North Lot reservation, climate control on the ride back, and a Jurassic Lot pickup window is the right call for any October show.
The 2026 fall calendar includes deadmau5 on October 30–31.
For any high-demand Red Rocks show, locking in a bus early is the best way to secure the right vehicle size at a reasonable rate. Summer weekend runs and festival-style multi-act shows pull from the same Denver-area pool, and 40-to-56 passenger charter buses — the ones that qualify most easily for the Upper North Lot reservation — book out first. Call 720-597-7100 to check availability on your specific date.
Denver Airport to Red Rocks Amphitheatre by Bus
Denver International Airport sits roughly 40 miles east of Red Rocks — about 45 to 65 minutes under normal traffic, 80 to 90 minutes on a concert night with I-70 congestion added. For out-of-town groups flying in for a show, that's a long transfer without coordination. A private bus from DEN handles the full pickup-to-drop-off in one leg: everyone collects at the terminal, one bus runs straight to Morrison, no splitting the group across rideshares with luggage on a concert night.
The Denver International Airport transportation guide covers the DEN ground-level pickup logistics in detail.
For groups based in downtown Denver hotels — LoDo, Union Station, RiNo, Capitol Hill — the origin is 15 miles from Red Rocks and the more common starting point for local concert groups. denverpartybus.org connects you to quotes from a large network of bus companies serving Denver and the surrounding area, whether the trip originates at DEN, a hotel block, or a private residence. Fill out the quick form or call 720-597-7100 for pricing in under 30 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Red Rocks?
Standard passenger drop-off for limos and shuttles is at the Top Circle Lot via Entrance 1 off Highway 93. The Red Rocks Park Road / Trading Post Road intersection at Entrance 2 (also off Highway 93) is the secondary drop-off point and where rideshare and taxi drop-offs are directed. Per the official venue FAQ, post-show vehicle pickup happens at the Jurassic Lot near Entrance 2 only — approximately one mile from the South Gate via Will Call Trail.
Drop-off and pickup are not the same location, so your group should know both in advance.
Where do buses park at Red Rocks Amphitheatre?
Oversized vehicles — any vehicle 6'5" wide or larger, which covers virtually all full-size charter buses and party buses — are directed to Lower South Lot 2. The walk from Lower South Lot 2 to the amphitheatre via the Trading Post Trail is 15 to 30 minutes uphill on mountain terrain. Buses with 24 or more passengers at 85% or greater capacity can reserve the Upper North Lot instead — the closest lot to the venue — by submitting the reservation form at least 48 hours before the event through the official Red Rocks getting here page.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to Red Rocks?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours (covering the ride in, any staging time, and the post-show pickup), the event date, and the pickup location. As a planning reference: minibuses run roughly $200–$275/hour; party buses range from $250–$500/hour depending on size; full charter buses run approximately $200–$350/hour. Per person across a full group, a charter bus frequently compares favorably to coordinating multiple round-trip rideshares at post-show surge rates — especially once you factor in the Upper North Lot reservation that reduces the walk significantly.
The fastest way to get pricing for your date is to call 720-597-7100 or use the online quote tool — pricing available in under 30 seconds.
What is the post-show pickup situation at Red Rocks?
Rideshare and vehicle pickup after the show is at the Jurassic Lot near Entrance 2 only, about one mile from the South Gate via Will Call Trail and Red Rocks Park Road. On sold-out nights, rideshare surge pricing reaches reported rates of 2x to 3x base fare, with wait times of 20 to 40 minutes while large crowds request rides at once. Wireless service at elevation can also get spotty under that kind of load.
A pre-arranged bus pickup at the Jurassic Lot — with a window set before the show starts — sidesteps all of it. The bus is staged; your group walks down and gets on.
Can we tailgate at Red Rocks?
Yes, with real restrictions. Tailgating is confined to the space directly behind your vehicle within your designated parking space. Open flame fires and charcoal grills are prohibited due to wildfire risk in the park.
Small propane grills are allowed when no fire bans are in effect, with a 12-inch height minimum and a 6-inch flame maximum. Amplified music, tents, canopies, and generators are not permitted. Glass is prohibited throughout the park.
Review the tailgating rules on the Red Rocks FAQ page before your visit.
What are the bag rules at Red Rocks in 2026?
Multi-pocket bags are no longer permitted as of 2026. Allowed: single-pocket bags up to 13" × 15" × 8", small purses and fanny packs at 6" × 9" or smaller, hydration packs up to 2 liters, and small soft-sided coolers (10" × 7" × 7" maximum). All possessions must fit under your seat (18" × 12").
Full details are on the official permitted and prohibited items page.
How far is downtown Denver from Red Rocks?
About 15 miles via I-70 westbound — typically 25 to 35 minutes under normal conditions. On a sold-out concert night, budget considerably more. I-70 westbound backs up at the C-470 merge and at Morrison Road Exit 259, and W. Alameda Parkway's two lanes are the final chokepoint for all arriving traffic.
Arriving 90 minutes before doors is the standard recommendation for high-demand shows. The alternate route — US-285 southwest to Highway 8 north — frequently runs faster on busy concert nights than the I-70 corridor.
How far is Denver International Airport from Red Rocks?
Approximately 40 miles — about 45 to 65 minutes under normal conditions, 80 to 90 minutes on a concert night. For out-of-town groups flying in for a show, a private bus from DEN collects everyone at the terminal and runs straight to Morrison without splitting the group across multiple rideshares with luggage. The Denver airport transportation guide covers the DEN arrivals logistics in full detail.
Does Red Rocks parking cost anything?
Parking is bundled into most event tickets at no separate vehicle charge. There is no day-of parking fee at the gate for most events — but "free" parking doesn't mean close parking. The Upper North Lot fills over an hour before showtime on popular nights, and overflow goes to the Jurassic Lot a mile from the South Gate.
For buses that qualify for the Upper North Lot reservation (24+ passengers, 85%+ capacity), submitting the 48-hour advance reservation form is the way to secure the closest lot regardless of arrival time.
How early should I book a bus to Red Rocks?
As soon as your show date is confirmed. Multi-night headliner runs, Yoga on the Rocks weekends, and late-summer festival-style shows draw heavily from the Denver-area vehicle supply — and the charter buses large enough to qualify easily for the Upper North Lot reservation book earliest. For standard weeknight shows, two to four weeks of lead time is generally workable.
For sold-out weekend shows in July and August, earlier is always better. Call 720-597-7100 now to check what's available on your date.
Are ADA-accessible buses available for Red Rocks trips?
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network. Note your accessibility needs in your quote request and the right vehicle can be arranged. At Red Rocks, accessible parking is available at the Top Circle Lot and the Upper South Lot, with an accessibility shuttle running from the Upper South Lot to a drop-off point near Row 1 — priority goes to guests with Row 1 tickets or mobility devices.
Confirm current accessibility logistics on the Red Rocks FAQ page before your visit.
