Planning Your Denver to Aspen Road Trip: 10 of the Best Stops There and Back 

A straight shot from Denver to Aspen would take you roughly three and a half hours via I-70 W. Whether you plan on renting a car after flying into Denver or you’re driving your own vehicle through the Mile High City on your way to Aspen, why not make an adventure out of your drive? We’ve mapped out some of the best stops to consider taking along the way.  

MAP IT.

On the Way to Aspen 

Denver Union Station

1. Denver Union Station 

Did you know that Denver Union Station is a “green” building? Union Station’s Bus Concourse received Gold LEED certification thanks to recycled materials, increased ventilation, natural light, and a green cleaning policy. Before leaving Denver, be sure to stop and have your photo taken outside this iconic attraction. 

2. Idaho Springs 

Idaho Springs is a historic mountain town right outside of Denver that is worth a stop. If you have the time, visit the Argo Mill and Tunnel, a four-mile underground highway, to learn more about the region’s rich mining history. If you’re hungry, be sure to grab a slice of pizza at Beau Jo’s!  

3. Georgetown 

The next stop on your way to Aspen is Georgetown, CO, situated up high in the Rocky Mountains. If you’d like to take in the region’s natural beauty, climb aboard the Georgetown Loop Railroad! The engineer will take you over the Devil’s Gate Bridge and through the mountains.  

4. Dillon Reservoir  

This large and beautiful lake sits with stunning alpine scenery as a backdrop. Whether you’d like to get out on the lake, go fishing, or simply take in the views, you don’t want to miss this stop along your road trip to Aspen.  

5. Glenwood Canyon 

Glenwood Canyon in Glenwood Springs is up next on your road trip itinerary. The Colorado River carved this 16-mile canyon over the course of three million years. If you’d like to rest your muscles consider stopping by the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool.  

6. Maroon Bells 

Before heading to your home base in Aspen, make one last stop. Pictures will never do Maroon Bells any justice. You simply have to see this marvel for yourself. The 14,000-foot peaks are located just 10 miles west of Aspen or 16 miles east of Snowmass up Maroon Creek Road off Highway 82 in a glacial valley and truly epitomize the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

3 Things You Need to Know Before Hiking Maroon Bells and Crested Butte 

What’s the Best Time to Visit? 

The first thing you should consider before planning a hiking trip to Maroon Bells and Crested Butte is the weather. Indeed, you don’t want to visit when the trails are covered in snow or when the wind is blowing hard! Although Aspen is a stunning destination year-round, summer and fall are the best times to come for hiking. You’ll get sunny skies and gorgeous, blooming nature! Temperatures range between 41 and 80 degrees from May through September. 

How Do You Get There? 

If you live around Colorado, we highly recommend you go on a fun road trip to Aspen! There’s nothing like hopping in your car and driving on the scenic Colorado roads through the mountains. Plus, you get to pack all you want since you have more room! If driving to Maroon Bells and Crested Butte isn’t an option for you (aka too long), you can also fly to Aspen! Denver International Airport is the easiest option as it has regular flights from all over the country (and the world). From there, you can find ground transportation that will take you right to Aspen! We highly recommend renting a vehicle so you can move around more easily during your stay.  

What Should You Bring? 

Now that we’ve figured out when and how to get to Aspen, it’s time to think of what you will need to hike Maroon Bells and Crested Butte. Here is a list to help you get started: 

  • Hiking Boots 
  • A reusable water bottle
