| How To Get To Glenwood Springs From Denver |
Car: Buckle Up for a Scenic Spin
The classic, the reliable, the "turn up the tunes and sing along" option. This scenic route takes about 2.5 hours, and trust me, the Rocky Mountain views are a guaranteed sing-along inducer (think John Denver, not rap battles with your travel companions). Just be sure to pack some snacks (hangry is not a good look on anyone), and maybe download some audiobooks or podcasts for those inevitable sing-along breaks.
Pro Tip: Download a map app beforehand - cell service can be spotty in the mountains.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
Bus: The Sociable (and Budget-Friendly) Escape
Looking to meet some interesting folks and save some cash? Hop on the Bustang bus! The ride takes a little longer, around 4 hours, but hey, more time to chat with your seatmates and swap stories about that time you almost summited Mount Whoeveritwas. Plus, it's a breeze on the wallet.
Word to the Wise: Pack some entertainment for the journey (books, games, that unfinished novel you've been meaning to tackle) and bring your own snacks (trust me, bus stop vending machines are a gamble).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
Train: Relax, Sip Coffee, Watch the World Go By
Feeling fancy? Take the Amtrak. Sit back, relax, sip on a cup of joe, and watch the world go by through panoramic windows. This option takes about 5.5 hours, but hey, it's all about the journey, right?
Insider Tip: Splurge on a window seat and a book you've been dying to read. Pure bliss!
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
No matter which mode of transportation you choose, remember: pack comfy clothes, sunglasses (those mountain rays are no joke!), and your sense of adventure!
