The most frequently travelled route takes you west on I-70 to Glenwood Springs for 170 miles where you meet Hwy 82 for the remaining 40 miles to Aspen.   Major passes along the route include Vail Pass and Eisenhower Tunnel.  Check for road condition updates during periods of inclement weather as the road does close from time to time. 

In the summer,  you can take the more scenic route over Independence Pass. Take I-70 to Minturn.  Turn off onto Hwy 24 towards Leadville and then head west on Hwy 82 over Independence Pass.  The final stretch into Aspen is on a windy road so drive carefully and use the pull-offs for scenic viewing.

Should you prefer not to drive, ground transportation to and from Aspen is provided by Colorado Mountain Express.
