Our family makes this drive multiple times a year, and we absolutely love it—even though it’s a bit longer! We usually do it in a day, but if you'd rather take your time, there are great spots to stop for the night along the way. It’s an easy, scenic drive that goes by quickly, especially if you carpool with other guests and take turns driving!

Driving is the easiest and most budget-friendly option, but if you'd prefer to fly, the closest reliable airport is Durango-La Plata County Airport (DRO) in Durango, CO, which is about two hours from Creede and South Fork. If you choose to fly, just keep in mind that you'll need to rent a car for the rest of the trip.

No matter how you get here, Colorado is absolutely beautiful, and we know you'll love the journey!
