The 'City Above the Clouds' — where Pikes Peak looms and the Ute Pass opens to the west

Home Destinations Pikes Peak Region Woodland Park

Woodland Park sits at 8,465 feet on the Ute Pass west of Colorado Springs, calling itself the 'City Above the Clouds' because it frequently sits above the low cloud layer that blankets the plains below. The town serves as the gateway to Cripple Creek's casinos, Mueller State Park's backcountry trails, and the western approach to Pikes Peak. It's more practical than glamorous — a real mountain community with hardware stores and elk in the median — but the views of Pikes Peak from downtown are among the most dramatic on the Front Range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Woodland Park from Colorado Springs?

20 miles, about 25 minutes via US-24 through the Ute Pass. The drive is scenic but can be slow in winter weather.

Is Woodland Park a good base for Pikes Peak?

Yes — the Pikes Peak Highway summit is accessible from both the east (Colorado Springs) and west (Woodland Park via Cripple Creek). Woodland Park also provides access to Mueller State Park and the backcountry.

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.

Do you offer point-to-point trips as well as hourly service?

Both. Point-to-point is priced for a single transfer such as home to DEN or hotel to a venue. Hourly (as-directed) service keeps the same chauffeur and vehicle for dinners, meetings, tours, and multi-stop nights.

Can I set up a recurring or corporate account?

Yes. Recurring commuters, executive assistants, hotels, and event planners get a standing profile with preferred vehicle, saved addresses, consolidated monthly invoicing, and priority dispatch.
