Current Transportation Options to Red Rocks

There are several options for transportation to Red Rocks.

Obviously, you can drive yourself or carpool and find parking at the venue. Another option is to call an Uber or Lyft, but sometimes the cost of those rides can be expensive depending on availability.

The Red Rocks team also offers a few different ways for you to get to and from the venue.

You can book a public shuttle and private car through the venue's website.

Red Rocks Shuttle Service Details

The cost of a roundtrip ticket on the shuttle service to Red Rocks is $65 with four stops: Union Station, Colorado Convention Center, Improper City, and Avanti.

These shuttles start up thirty minutes before the doors open for the show and go until thirty minutes after the music ends.

One of the challenges to that is getting through the crowds of people and finding seat on the shuttle.

This new alternative will give concert goers another choice for transportation, but it's in the very early stages.

Why a New Transit Option Is Coming to Red Rocks

A few months ago, Jefferson County officials submitted an application for the Regional Transportation District's third round of its Partnership Program, according to a report from Westword.

The goal is to improve micro-transit services across the state.

How the Red Rocks Pilot Program Will Work

In August, it was confirmed that Jefferson County did receive thousands of dollars for this pilot program.

The Red Rocks route pilot program will run on weekend afternoons between Jefferson County Government Center/Golden Station and Morrison Natural History Museum.

This "fixed bus service" will include stops at Downtown Morrison, Matthews/Winter Park, and Red Rocks Trading Post.

Travelers should expect the pilot program to kick start on September 20th, 2025.
