The amphitheater's rocks are named "Creation Rock"...

The amphitheater's rocks are named "Creation Rock" in the north and "Ship Rock" on the south and " Stage Rock" to the east. Red Rocks was designed by Denver architect Burnham Hoyt. They began building in 1937 and was completed in 1941.

There are 70 rows of wooden bench seating in the venue, including one row at the front and one in the rear with accessible seating options. I find that the best rows are 1-20.

Food and beers/ wines are available for sale here as well as T-shirt's for the particular band that's playing.

The sound in this venue is amazing. The amphitheater itself seats between two big slab of rocks. It acts like a giant headphone. The amphitheater's arrangement where the stage sits below the audience affords almost everybody a great view of the stage. Albeit the further up top you seat the smaller the band looks.

Here's a few of the "greats" that played in RR.
Radiohead in 2003, Jimi Hendrix 1968, The Beatles in 1964, Daft Punck 2007, The Grateful Dead 1978, John Denver 1974, U2 1983.

I've personally watched 21 Pilots, Norah Jones, and most recently Rebelution. I am still in awe every time. The light show plays a great deal into the night and rain or shine the audience seem to not mind at all.

RR's outstanding beauty is apparent during the day or night. Tourist and health conscious locals use the amphitheater for their exercise routine.

Ample parking but sometimes it's not enough. Or a far walk.

The above comment being the truth- i'd say it's worth the hike up. You're walking the same path that a few great bands walked in the past and made history.

I am lucky to live 5-10 minutes away. This is my playground and at night watching the lights lit up the red rocks I smile and almost always wish I'm there myself...
