Flight
Denver International Airport
Look for flights into Denver International Airport (DEN). The airport is served by 25 airlines with 160 daily nonstop flights. We recommend booking with Southwest Airlines if you can, as they offer the most flexibility, including free bags and no change fees. Flight prices will increase quickly, so don't delay!
Rental Car
DIA Car Rentals
This option will definitely give you the most freedom during your time in Colorado, so we do highly recommend getting a rental car. You can conveniently rent a car right at the airport, but book ahead of time - they can definitely sell out this time of year.
Travel Note
Getting to Estes Park
If you decide not to rent a car, you have other options for making your way to the mountains: HAIL A CAR SERVICE Just note that there are no car services in Estes Park - so they can get you there, but you will need a different way back! BOOK A SHUTTLE - Check times and book ahead of time. This one does 4 trips/day. https://www.estesparkshuttle.com/DIA-airport-shuttle
