Download before you go
Save the Denver story pack while on Wi‑Fi to avoid data slowdowns and roaming charges.
Bring a battery pack
GPS and audio drain phones quickly—carry a portable charger for multi-stop days.
Use over-ear headphones for clarity
A good pair reduces city noise and reveals ambient audio cues embedded in stories.
Plan for transit to Red Rocks
Red Rocks is best reached by car or ride-share; allow 30–45 minutes from downtown and check parking rules.
