Getting To Keystone
Transport options to Keystone are many and varied.
By air: The main two flight access points are Denver International Airport and Vail/Eagle Municipal Airport. Both are about a 90 minute drive to Keystone. Vail/Eagle Municipal Airport is located closer to Keystone, but on the other side of Vail Pass. It is a smaller airport with less frequent flights, and fewer rental car and transport options.
By car: Transport from the airports or other states (Utah, Wyoming) by rental car is simple. Find your way to the interstate I70 and follow the signs. Take the Hwy 6 exit at Dillon/Silverthorne (exit #205) and cruise the 6 miles to Keystone.
If doing a road trip from Utah to Keystone (or vice-versa), it is an easy day’s drive. There is some gobsmacking high desert and red rock scenery on the way too. Don’t forget to pull over in some of the rest areas. Wyoming (Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole) is a long days drive so leave early.
Car rentals are available at all the major airports. If doing a bit of car touring we recommend getting a 4WD. When renting a vehicle from Vail/Eagle Municipal Airport, make an advanced reservation as supply can be limited.
By Public Bus:
Summit County runs an effective and free shuttle service to and from all the main resort towns and points of interest around Keystone. It links Keystone to Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Copper and Arapahoe Basin. Called the Summit Stage, it runs every 30 minutes during busy periods and may be an option if staying off the mountain. Check out the
schedules.
Private transportation / shuttles:
If you don’t intend hiring a car during your trip and you are with a group of people, the most economical way to get around is any one of the private limo or shuttle services. They have drivers providing transport in all sorts of vehicles from sedans, vans, fully stretched limos as well as standard bus services. Renting a private shuttle is a great way to guarantee transport from either airport and saves waiting for buses. Some of the main providers are
Colorado Mountain Express and
Powderhound Transport.
Getting Around
Bus shuttles (‘Ride’) within the resort provide easy access to all parts of the base area. Eight different routes are serviced at least every 20 minutes, and the majority of the routes have buses running between 8am and 10pm.
Summit Stage (described above) is a free bus that links all the local towns and ski resorts.
If heading to
ski Vail for a day (highly recommended), you can take the Vail Express. It costs $US25 return and leaves River Run Village at 7.30am and returns around 5pm.
