Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) is the local airport, located only three miles from downtown Aspen. Aspen is served by United Airlines and American Airlines. Aspen is a 30-minute flight from Denver International Airport (DEN) via United Express and American Airlines, or is a 3.5-hour, 220-mile drive from Denver. There is also non-stop service from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and Chicago on United Airlines as well as Dallas and Los Angeles on American Airlines. Flying into Denver does offer more affordable and more frequent flight options, but be advised; Denver is a 4.5 hour drive from Aspen. Flying into Grand Junction is another alternative, and its only 2.5 hours away.

Colorado Weather is famous for changing hour by hour. But generally; expect comfortable days with scattered rain and sun, and very cool evenings. The last two weeks of September and the first two weeks of October are noted for the intense fall foliage. Temperatures range from 60 to 70 degrees in the daytime, and evening temperatures range from 30 to 40 degrees.

Thats up to you and is largely based on where you fly into and where you wanna go while you are in Aspen. A few things to note, Parking is VERY limited. Free parking is unheard of, of the parking rates are NOT expensive. Usually three dollars an hour in the CORE. Most hotels do have overnight parking fees of 50-75 dollars. Most hotels, shops and restaurants are within comfortable walking distance, and taxis, limos and hotel courtesy vans provide service to and from the Aspen airport and around town. The Roaring Fork Transit Authority (RFTA) provides extensive bus service between Aspen and Snowmass, as well as service to other Roaring Fork Valley communities including Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. RFTA shuttles depart from the Rubey Park Transit Station, located on Durant Avenue at least twice per hour from 6 a.m. – 2:15 a.m. daily. Service is free around town and as far as the Aspen airport. Many of the sites that you want to see outside of Aspen you will need a car for. Examples would be Independence Pass, Snowmass, Maroon Bells, Basalt, Glenwood Springs. In town, nothing is more than a three mile walk. Aspen is in the southeastern end of the Roaring Fork Valley, 220 miles southwest of Denver and 130 miles southeast of Grand Junction. Highway 82 is the major roadway leading in and out of Aspen connecting to Interstate I-70 at Glenwood Springs to the north and 12,095-foot Independence Pass to the south. Another scenic route from Denver is 1-70 West to 91 South, through Leadville, to 24 South, then west onto Highway 82 over Independence Pass. (The Pass is open only from May through October.)
