In Short
Built during FDR's New Deal effort, Red Rocks is a man-made wonder that works in concert with nature. Get there before the show and take a hike; you might see mule deer, falcons and other wildlife. Make sure to take sunscreen or a rain poncho, and be prepared for long lines before show time. There are four parking lots and street parking. Vendors sell hamburgers, hot dogs and nachos--or you can bring your own.

This place is beautiful and concerts sound great. The show will go on rain or shine, so ALWAYS bring a rain poncho if the sky is cloudy, even if it doesn't look like rain. We all know that evening showers in the summertime are the norm rather than the exception in the foothills. If you get unexpectedly rained on, red rocks sells cheapie ponchos for $5 at the stand where they sell concert tee shirts. If it's dry, you may want to bring a blanket or stadium seat cushion to sit on. They have basic stadium food for dinner such as pizza, hotdogs, nachos, etc. Beer ranges about $6 to $8 a cup. Bathrooms were clean and had real flush toilets. If you're in the upper half of the stadium, there are "real" bathrooms in the visitor center up at the top, with no wait time even for the women. All in all, a great experience even in spite of the frequent rain showers.

We went to the concert, we loved it and it was awesome! The views were spectacular and the ushers and staff were very friendly. The visitors center is a must see! Great atmosphere.

Try Gray Line's Mountain Parks Tour out of Denver hotels or Cherry Creek Mall. A good way to see local points of interest including Red Rocks.
