How difficult would it be to get from Aspen to Denver? |
Travel Info I'm going skiing in Aspen in a couple weeks and I want to go to the Avalanche game on the 22nd in Denver. Would this be an impossible feat? Travel Tips One guy said 160 miles and just a few hours. It will take longer than that. First you have to rent the dogsled. Then truck it to the base of Independence Pass, which is closed in Winter. 200 miles is correct, going through Glenwood Springs. In good weather, and at a time of low traffic, you maybe could make it in 4 hours. If it's snowing, or you're trying to get back to Denver on Sunday, all bets are off. Three options. You could drive out the day before, and drive back the day after. But if there's a storm, you're out of luck and have paid for tickets. And you've put a big dent in your time in Aspen. You could fly. Or you could put the game at the beginning (best) or end of your trip. My second best recommendation. My best is to forget it and enjoy Aspen. Source(s): 17 years in Denver, several trips to Aspen in the summer, both via Independence Pass and via Glenwood Springs. Usually one way coming, one way going. Other Travel Tips No, just hope it's not snowing that day and they close down some highways are you driving ............or walking? Denver is about 160 miles from Aspen ..should take 3 or 3 1/2 hrs to get there .. should not be a problem to do this .. have fun! Easy. Piece of cake. There is good highway from Aspen to Denver. IF the weather is good. I checked with MapQuest, and they say Aspen to Denver is a little under 200 miles, and the average time you can expect is about 3 hours, 45 minutes. Of the 200 miles, you begin with about 40 miles on US 82 N, and then 145 of it is on Interstate 70 East. So we are talking major highways and freeways. Add expected delays during commute hours. Good luck. Not difficult !!! Aspen and Denver are only a couple of hours or so apart by highway 70. Route 82 connects Aspen to Interstate 70. Hopefully they won't have to close the route because of snow!!! |
