About Getting to Breckenridge
The Breckenridge Tourism Office puts the town 90 miles west of Denver, about 1 hour 45 minutes from Denver International Airport by car; Epic Mountain Express gives its shuttle 2 to 2½ hours, depending on season and traffic. Colorado Springs (COS) is more than 2 hours away, and Eagle County Regional Airport is another option.
Leave the car parked once you arrive: the Breck Free Ride buses, the Main Street Trolley and most lodging shuttles take you to town and the mountain, and the BreckConnect Gondola links town with Peaks 7 and 8.
Most downtown parking is paid and fills quickly; the McCain Road lot offers day parking without a fee, 6am–11pm, served by the Green and Red bus routes. Check GoI70.com and COTrip.org before driving.
