GETTING THERE
Nearest Airports
Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.
From Boulder, drive through Boulder Canyon on Highway 119 via Nederland; from Denver, approach Boulder via US 36. This avoids I-70. Check winter road and resort parking conditions before departure.
RTD’s NB ski-season service connects Downtown Boulder Station to Eldora. From Denver Union Station, RTD describes taking the FF1 to Boulder before connecting to the mountain bus. Check both outbound and return departures.
For Denver International Airport arrivals, plan the airport-to-city connection separately. A rental car is an option, while the mountain bus supports a car-free Boulder base.
