Visitor & Driver Tips

Ensure you note your vehicle license plate number before leaving your car, as most on-site digital pay platforms require plate registration for validation. If you plan to head into the high country or attend a sold-out Red Rocks performance, arrive early to secure your spot and carpool with friends to reduce event traffic. Keep valuables out of plain view and lock your doors at all times.
