Direct Air
Steamboat Springs is well served by the Yampa Valley regional airport at Hayden (HDN) just 22 miles away. Approx. flying time from Denver (DEN) is a short 40 minute hop. During the ski season non-stop direct jet service is provided from Chicago, Newark, Denver, Houston, Dallas Ft Worth, Raleigh/Durham, and Minneapolis/St. Paul with easy connections to over 150 major US cities.

Steamboat also has a well constructed small airport that is ideal for the private flyer.

By Road
Steamboat is approximately 160 miles N.W. of Denver and is an easy scenic 3 hour drive (in dry conditions).

If you fly into Denver you have several options to complete the journey to Steamboat. Alpine Taxi (800-343-7433), a Steamboat taxi company provides a shuttle from/to Denver International Airport (DIA). They are reasonably priced and comfortable. A variety of car rentals are available from DIA or Hayden. A private Chevy Suburban Limousine service is economical for groups of 8 or more. Please contact us for more information.

Driving directions from Denver: (3 - 4 hours in good conditions).
Take I70 to Silverthorne. At Silverthorne take Rte 9 to Kremling. At Kremling take US40 over Rabbit Ears Pass to Steamboat (Caution: chains / snow tires are required in winter!).

As you come into Steamboat look for directions to the ski area (up to your right) via Mt Werner Rd. Take Mt Werner Rd towards the large knoll (aprx 3/4 mile) where the new Steamboat Grand Hotel is visible on the back-side. Take a left onto the Mt Werner Circle and after 1/4 mile take another left onto Burgess Creek Rd.  

Proceed aprx 1.1 miles up Burgess Creek Rd.  Cleftstone Chalet is located on the left side of the road at 2718 Burgess Creek Rd - just before the "Winterwood" sign on the right. If you go past this sign you went too far!

Getting Around
If you do decide to rent a car you will need 4WD. Access roads are well maintained however to be really safe 4WD or AWD is the only way (you may encounter hazardous driving conditions!). Hertz and several others offer the intermediate size AWD Subaru Outback and Legacy at good rates. Otherwise a wide range of 4WD Sport Utility Vehicles is available from all the major rental companies.

Snow chains are a wise precaution as most vehicles are equipped with "all-season" tires which are not suited to driving on ice or packed snow.
