Travel Tips

The distance from Denver to Aspen depends on whether Colorado State Highway 82 over Independence Pass is open. At 3725 meters (12,095 feet) elevation, Independence Pass provides a glorious view of the Rocky Mountains, but it is closed by snow most of the year.

When Independence Pass is open in the summer, the drive from Denver to Aspen is 159 miles in 3:42. Please see the Yahoo Maps driving directions below.

When Independence Pass is closed the rest of the year, you must take Interstate Highway I-70 west to Glenwood Springs. The drive from Denver to Aspen via Glenwood Springs is 198 miles in 3:47 minutes. Please see the Yahoo Maps driving directions below.
