Getting to Gilpin County, Colorado

​

Gilpin County, Colorado, is northwest of Denver and about an hour south of Estes Park, which is home to Rocky Mountain National Park. The county is just over an hour from Denver by car. With a population of 6,000, Gilpin County is not served by Uber, Lyft, buses, taxis, or any other public transportation from Denver so plan to drive. Once in the county, travel is by car on stunningly beautiful country roads. There are multiple routes to reach Gilpin from Boulder, Golden and Arvada, Colorado.

To plan your trip, begin by thinking about how you will get to Denver, which is at the intersection of I-25 and I-70. It is served by flights into Denver International Airport and by Amtrak train to the city's Union Station. If you come by air or rail, plan to rent a car when you arrive. It's tourist season year around in Colorado, so car rentals at the airport can be pricey. You may save quite a bit by getting a ride to a car rental site in a nearby suburb where rates are often lower. It's best to plan ahead because most visitors to the state rent cars.
