Alpine Trail Ridge Inn - Directions from Denver International Airport (DIA)

Coming from Denver International Airport (DIA):

E-470 Toll Road Route: Take Pena Blvd west to E-470 Toll Road. Go West on E-470 to I-25. E-470 Toll Road has gone cashless. They now photograph your vehicle license and bill you for the toll. This works well if you are in your own automobile, but it is causing problems with rental cars. IF YOU RENT A CAR AND PLAN TO USE THE TOLL ROAD. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH THE RENTAL AGENCY ABOUT THE FEES THEY CHARGE YOU TO COVER THE TOLLS. There is a wide variety of programs with the various agencies so make sure you know and understand what your car rental company is charging you and what it covers, or you may end up with some outrageous fines from the E470 collection agency. There is a lot less traffic and it saves time.

Non-Toll Road Route: Take Pena Blvd west to Tower Road. Go right on Tower Road to 104th Ave. Take a left on 104th Ave, and go west to I-25.

Then, either way you go, take a right on I-25 North to exit 243. Left on Highway 66 to Lyons. At the far side of Lyons, take a right on US 36 to Estes Park. There are 6 stoplights to get to us. Go through the first light, and take a left at the second light onto Elkhorn Avenue. Go through the third and fourth lights, and take a left at the fifth light onto Moraine Avenue. After making that turn, get in the right hand lane because the road will take a sharp right in about 3 blocks, and you need to be in that lane. Go about 1 1/2 miles from that 5th light and you'll come to a sixth light. Go through that light and we're about half a block on the right hand side.
