We highly recommend renting a car to give you easy access to all wedding weekend events. Uber and Lyft are not available in Winter Park. Driving (or carpooling!) is the only way to get to Friday and Sunday events at the Arlberg Club, which is not accessible by walking or public transportation. Having a car will also give you more options to explore the mountains on Saturday before the ceremony. If you would like help arranging carpools with other guests, please reach out to us!
If you are not renting a car at Denver International Airport, there are other ways to get to Winter Park. AIRPORT SHUTTLE Schedule a Home James airport shuttle to pick you up at the airport and take you directly to the door of your mountain lodging: https://www.ridehj.com/ AMTRAK TRAIN FROM DENVER'S UNION STATION Take the RTD light rail train from the airport to Denver's Union Station, then catch an Amtrak train to Fraser, a town two miles away from Winter Park. https://www.playwinterpark.com/transportation/amtrak BUS FROM DENVER'S UNION STATION Catch the Busstang Outrider Express Bus from Union Station to Winter Park: theliftwp.com/bustang-outrider
Yes! The Lift bus is the local free transit system operating year-round and reaching most areas of the towns of Winter Park and Fraser. If you don't rent a car, this will be your main option for getting around the valley.

We will offer free shuttles to and from the wedding for all guests staying at the Arlberg Club. Otherwise, we assume guests will be staying within walking distance of the Headwaters Center in downtown Winter Park or will be driving to the wedding. If you do drive to the wedding, Headwaters Center has a large parking lot. Have a sober driver take you home after the reception, or take The Lift bus home at the end of the night and come pick up your car the next morning. Headwaters asks that all cars be picked up before 9AM on Sunday to clear their parking lot for church services.
Yes, Headwaters Center has an adjacent parking lot where they allow overnight parking.
