New shuttles from Denver to Red Rocks launch Memorial Day Weekend

Getting to Red Rocks just got easier. Two new shuttle services from Denver to Red Rocks are launching this Memorial Day Weekend — one free and one not.

And the services arrive just in time for “Deep Time Detour,” a new immersive prehistoric exhibit at Dinosaur Ridge opening Saturday, May 23, that takes visitors through 300 million years of Colorado’s prehistoric history through re-creations, immersive environments, dramatic murals and scientifically accurate artistic models.

Westracks, the free service, allows riders to take the W Line to the Jefferson County Government Center/RTD Golden Station and connect to the shuttle, which will stop at Red Rocks and a number of other cultural stops, like Matthews/Winters Open Space Park and downtown Morrison. Meanwhile, Discover Denver Tours’ new Red Rocks shuttle is a two-hour round-trip from Union Station to Red Rocks, geared more toward tourists and couples who just want a quick trip to see Red Rocks before returning to the city.

At the moment, both shuttles are for daytime use only. So those without a car looking to get to a Red Rocks show will still have to use services like Uber, Lyft or other (more expensive) shuttle options like BusPartyCo.
