What’s the best driving route from Denver to Aspen?
So come summer my pals and I are planning on flocking to Aspen like the salmon of Capistrano—what’s the best driving route from Denver to Aspen?
Jason Tushinski · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
To get to a little place called Aspen,
Colorado
(where the beer flows like wine), you’ll want to ride I-70 W and then CO-82 W from Denver for 3 and a half hours, on a journey that will cover 198 miles**.Here are some highlights for your mountain journey:
- Set out fromDenveron I-70 W, but before leaving the city, stop inMorrisonand pay a visit to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, famous for its hiking and biking trails—not to mention its attracting tons of top musical acts since it opened way back in 1906 (and no, John Denver was not the first act to play there)
- From Red Rocks, head west and make a stop at Indian Hot Springs, a simplistic resort with log cabins and a mineral water pool, and a spa to rest your weary bones (in case you fell off the jetway again the day before)
- Make a pitstop inVailand gawk at the world-famous Vail Ski Resort, which is a winter and summer playground, featuring golf, hiking, and cultural festivals
- Take CO-91 S at Copper Mountain and make some time for a train ride in Leadville, with its trains offering scenic views of the Arkansas River Valley and Colorado’s stunning mountain scenery
