Home Destinations Aspen & Roaring Fork Valley Glenwood Springs

Glenwood Springs sits where Glenwood Canyon opens into the Roaring Fork Valley, at the junction of I-70 and Highway 82 to Aspen. The town is famous for two things: the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool — the world's largest mineral hot springs pool — and the drive through Glenwood Canyon, a 12-mile stretch of I-70 carved through 1,800-foot limestone walls that's considered one of the most dramatic highway segments in America. Doc Holliday died here in 1887, and his grave is still a tourist stop. Beyond the postcard attractions, Glenwood has a walkable downtown with restaurants, breweries, and the Iron Mountain Hot Springs — a newer boutique soaking experience on the Colorado River.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Glenwood Springs a good overnight stop on the way to Aspen?

One of the best. You break the 4-hour drive from DIA into manageable segments, soak in the hot springs, and arrive in Aspen rested. We'll drive both legs.

How far is Glenwood Springs from Aspen?

42 miles, about 55 minutes via Highway 82 through Carbondale and Basalt.

How do you handle flight delays?

We track every flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, we automatically adjust your pickup time. No extra charge and no rebooking needed.

Where does my driver meet me?

At DEN your chauffeur meets you curbside on Level 5 — Island 2, near door 506 on the west side or door 511 on the east, depending on your baggage claim — and texts you the exact spot. For private FBOs, we meet you on the tarmac or at the terminal.

Can I book a same-day airport transfer?

We ask for two hours' notice for any pickup between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Anything inside two hours is Rush service for an additional $50, and we only confirm it once a driver is assigned. For a pickup between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., book before 10 p.m., when our dispatch office is staffed. Call us for the fastest confirmation.

Do you provide car seats for children?

Yes, we can accommodate car seat requests. Please mention this when booking so we can have the appropriate seat installed.

Do you serve Red Rocks and special events too?

Yes. Many clients pair airport transfers with Red Rocks concerts, weddings, and special events. We can coordinate round-trip transportation across Denver and the Front Range.

Is it safe to drive into the mountains in winter?

With the right vehicle and a trained chauffeur, yes. Colorado's Traction Law (Code 15) on I-70 requires AWD/4WD or snow-rated tires with adequate tread; Arion vehicles meet or exceed it, carry chains, and our chauffeurs are ice-driving trained and monitor CDOT conditions before and during every mountain run.

What happens if I-70 closes or chain law is in effect?

Dispatch monitors CDOT closures and traction/chain restrictions in real time and will reroute (US-285, US-40, I-70 timing changes) or reschedule your pickup window. We tell you early rather than leaving you guessing at the airport.
