Question

Which airport is closest to Lyons?

Answer

Denver International Airport

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

We recommend it. Airport to Boulder or Longmont is about 35-40 miles, one way. Lyons is in a rural area about 45 miles from downtown Denver and roughly 10 miles from both Boulder and Longmont.

Question

Should I stay in Longmont, Boulder, or Lyons?

Answer

All three are good choices. Longmont is less expensive than Boulder. Boulder is more of a "scene" with better restaurants and completely walkable depending on where you stay. Lyons has a couple of BnB's and a tiny house campground. AirBnB choices are plentiful. You can also stay near Castle Rock, where we live (please see below).

Question

Is it better to stay near where you live?

Answer

We live in Castle Rock, which is about 75 miles south of Lyons and 25 miles south of Denver. If you would prefer to stay nearby, there are several hotels and numerous AirBnB options.

Question

Will there be a shuttle?

Answer

Depending on where people are staying, we are considering running a shuttle to Longmont and Boulder the day of the celebration. Please let us know your plans and we will let you know.

Yes, craft beer and wine. It's okay to bring your own if you prefer something different - but the bartender has to pour.

Question

What is the typical weather in Lyons for early June?

Answer

The highs are typically between 75-80F, and it cools to mid-50s overnight. Colorado is usually very sunny so it can feel much warmer, especially at higher altitudes.

Question

Will altitude be a factor?

Answer

Lyons is 5,340 ft above sea level. If you aren't used to that altitude, it takes your body at least 3-5 days to adjust. Altitude sickness is a real thing. Everyone reacts differently. Take it easy, drink A LOT of water, avoid dehydrating liquids like coffee and alcohol, and if you start feeling woozy, short of breath, or nauseous, immediately let us know. We will have portable oxygen canisters at the event just in case. If you plan to go hiking at higher altitudes or take a strenuous walk, please carry as much water as you can and take an oxygen canister with you.
