Things to do in Colorado, United States: The Best Transportation

November 6, 2021 Brain Ambrose

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Telluride Mountain Village Gondola

One of the most unique forms of public transportation connects Mountain Village to Telluride offering stunning 360-degree views of the San Juan Mountains that extend as far away as Utah. The gondola, the first and only free public transportation of its kind in the United States opened in 1996 and was initially built to help improve air quality while expanding the ski area. It is entirely free to commuters and sightseers. Since then, it has become a popular attraction for residents and visitors alike, giving them a stunning ride that caps out at 10,540 feet above sea level. Approximately 3 million passenger rides annually – and safely – and more than 50 million passenger trips have been provided since opening day. The gondola operates roughly 287 days each year with routine maintenance scheduled during our shoulder season months. It takes about 12 minutes to get from the Town of Telluride to Mountain Village Village. It takes 3 minutes from Mountain Village Center to Market Plaza.

Terrific way to get up and own the mountain for various activities. Whether going mid-mountain for coffee or all the way down for Telluride activities. Stayed at the top at Mountain Lodge and this was a terrific mode of transportation during our weeklong stay. Whether going out for drinks, food or hiking.

My husband and I hiked up to the summit of pikes peak as our first Fourteener, and decided to get a shuttle back down cause the hike itself was kicking our ass and we didn’t want to hike back. Man, the best part of this experience was our driver Josh... he was absolutely awesome! They give you updates via text to let you know where they are at and check up on ya if they know your on a long hike. Josh our driver was so informative, gave us a nice tour with fun facts about the mountain and Colorado in general, and he was absolutely hilarious! Hands down the best ride in town! I wouldn’t use another service.

We’ve been using Blue Sky Car Service for over 4 years now and I’ve never had a bad trip or driver. They are consistent, always on time, and the cars are great. We loved being driven in the brand new Suburban this year. So spacious and so clean!!! Way to go Blue Sky! So much better than ride sharing options and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend them. Best private car service in Vail Valley
