Getting Here

Keystone is easily reached by flying into Denver International Airport (DEN) with daily nonstop service from the majority of major US and Canadian cities as well as a host of international points of origin.

Private Shuttles

Rocky Mountain Getaways will schedule your shared or private shuttle service to the resort or will arrange a rental vehicle from one of the major agencies located minutes from the main terminal. From the airport it typically takes about 2 hours to reach the resort, weather conditions can certainly extend the travel time and four-wheel drive is recommended for those choosing a rental vehicle. The bright side is that the scenery on Interstate 70 will get you warmed up for the stunning mountain views you will encounter daily on your Keystone ski vacation. 

Driving Directions

Those driving to the mountain from the East will pass the airport on route down I-70 while those driving from the South may encounter some challenging driving conditions as there are several mountain passes to traverse depending on your chosen route.

Holiday Weekends: When a national holiday falls on a Monday, you can count on Monday afternoon eastbound traffic to mimic a typical Sunday pattern, but with potentially more volume.

 

Metering: Traffic metering goes into effect during very high volume times and can occur at multiple I-70 on-ramps and/or the Eisenhower Tunnel traveling eastbound. Metering controls the
