Question

Answer
Denver International Airport
Question
What is the Red Rock Amphitheater?
Answer
If you think of Red Rocks Park as just a beautiful place to see a concert, think again! Around you are 738 total acres of deer, dinosaurs, pines and prairie, geological wonders and spectacular vistas. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks Park is a unique transitional zone where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. The diverse environment allows visitors to see plants, birds and animals of both regions. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a geological phenomenon – the only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheatre in the world. From Sting and The Beatles, to opera stars and U2, every artist aspires to play on this magical, spiritual and emotional stage. (Redrocksonline.com)
Question
Where should we stay?
Answer
Please checkout the "Travel" tab at the top of this page for information regarding lodging. While we recommend checking out the Marriott Denver West or the Origin Hotel Red Rocks, we are also providing other hotel information as well as links to local AirBnB pages.
Question
Do we have to rent a car?
Answer
You do not have to, but it will make your life easier and will probably save some money in the long run. It is entirely possible to take a cab/Uber/Lyft/super shuttle to Golden, CO from the airport. It is also possible to use similar transportation options to get to/from Red Rocks from Golden.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Absolutely! This will be an adventure for the whole family.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail, please. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose! There will also be a fair amount of walking, so maybe consider breaking in those new shoes before you get here.
Question
Is the high altitude going to be a problem for me or my family?
Answer
Red Rocks is located at 6,400 feet above sea level. For all of you "flatlanders" this could be a little bit weird. It is not high enough to cause true altitude sickness, but you may find yourself feeling a little bit weird at the beginning of your trip. Simple things, like climbing steps, may also prove to be a little bit more of a workout than usual because of the oxygen difference. However, there really is no reason to be worried about this. People travel here, and to higher altitudes, all of the time with no problem. Drink lots of water (more than you normally would) and feel free to take a break if you start to get tired.
