Getting to ASPEN
Air
Fly straight into the Aspen airport (airport code: ASE). Some hotels offer complimentary free airport transfer, so you can land, head straight to your hotel and never need a car!
Fly into Denver (airport code: DIA). You can either rent a car and drive yourself or contact Roaring Fork Express to shuttle you straight to your doorstep. Private options are also available.
Fly into Eagle (Vail) Airport (airport code: EGE). Closer than Denver and more direct flights from more markets. Only 2 hours by car. If you choose this route, you’ll either have to hire a car service to drive you to Aspen, or rent a car and make the easy trip to Aspen.
CAR
The Easy (but still scenic) Route - Head west from Denver on I-70 to Glenwood Springs, through the magnificent Glenwood Canyon. Follow the signs to turn south onto Hwy 82 to Aspen. Use navigation to take you directly to your lodging.
The Scenic Route - Head west from Denver on I-70 to Hwy 91. You will begin to see signs for Independence Pass. You will wind up a high mountain pass to find yourself in Leadville. Drive through the main part of town and then turn south onto Hwy 82, which will take you on another long and winding mountain road straight into East Aspen. Be sure to plug in the address of your accommodations before leaving Leadville.
Check C-DOT for updates on road conditions - your route may be pre-determined!

Getting Around
FREE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The public transportation system in Aspen is very efficient, but you’ll likely only use it if you want to travel between Aspen and Snowmass or go up to the Maroon Bells for a day. Either way, their interactive website makes it easy to travel (and plan to travel).
DOWNTOWNER
The Downtowner is a great way to bop around town for free. Think Uber, but for free, and in a golf cart or electric vehicle. It’s meant to service the West End Neighborhood and is a great way to get between Airbnb’s and downtown!

UBER
Uber drivers are few and far between. You can never guarantee that a car will be available when you need one. It’s great when it works, but not the most reliable.
