Getting to Estes Park is fairly easy – there are no high mountain roads to travel, even in the winter, and we are only about an hour and a half from Denver, Colorado’s capital city and home of the nearest major airport, Denver International Airport.
There is no public transportation to Estes Park. Your options (short of walking or biking) are to drive, to take a private shuttle bus from the airport, or to beg a friend to come pick you up (our preferred method).
Driving
If you are driving, here are directions to Estes Park.
If you need to rent a car, you can do so at the airport in Denver. Reservations are highly recommended. You might be able to show up without notice during the winter, and they might be able to find a car for you, but in the summer, fuhgeddaboutit.
