Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa
(970)-726-5632 We’ve reserved a room block for our wedding weekend. To secure your stay, please call to make your reservation directly with the Ranch. Given limited block availability, we recommend booking as soon as possible. Since all wedding festivities will take place at the Ranch, we highly encourage guests to stay on-site and fully enjoy the weekend’s events and all DTR has to offer!
Flight
Denver International Airport
8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249, USA (720) 730-4359 For our guests flying into DIA, the Ranch is about a two-hour drive from the airport. In the busy summer season or if there are delays on I-70, the trip may take up to three hours, so we recommend planning for additional travel time. For a more relaxed start to the weekend, consider arriving in Colorado a bit early—perhaps spending a night in Denver or exploring a mountain town along the way. This way, you’ll have plenty of time to settle in before Friday’s welcome festivities.
Travel Note
Driving to the Ranch
For those driving, we recommend traveling during daylight hours, when the roads are easier to navigate and wildlife is less active. Complimentary parking is available on-site at the Ranch. Directions: From Denver, take I-70 West. Exit at US‑40 (Exit 232) toward Empire / Granby. Stay on US‑40 through Empire, over Berthoud Pass, past Winter Park and Fraser. About 2 miles past Fraser, turn right onto County Road 83, then take the right‑hand fork and follow it about 3 miles to the Ranch.
Rental Car
DIA Rental Cars
Denver International Airport (DIA) offers a wide selection of major car rental companies. A free shuttle runs frequently between the airport and the Rental Car Center, making it quick and easy to pick up your car and begin your mountain adventure.
Train
Scenic Train
For a truly scenic journey, consider the Amtrak Winter Park Express, which travels from Denver Union Station (DEN) to Fraser-Winter Park (WIP) in roughly two hours. WIP is just 10 minutes from Devil’s Thumb Ranch. For our wedding weekend, there is one route per day, currently departing DEN at 8:45 AM and returning from WIP at 3:30 PM. We recommend checking train schedules before booking flights or making other travel arrangements.
