List of Airports in Colorado

There are few states that offer as much to see and do in the great outdoors as Colorado. From hiking and whitewater rafting in the summer months to Colorado's incredible ski culture, the state is a nature lover's dream. While Colorado is not serviced by as many airports as more populated states, there are a few that can get you right into the heart of the action.

Denver International Airport

Serviced by most major carriers and offering daily flights to and from 130 cities, Denver International is Colorado's biggest and busiest airport. It is also the closest major airport to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park, and less than 100 miles from the popular Keystone ski resort. It will take approximately an hour and a half to drive to any of these locations from Denver International in good conditions.

Features on-site at Denver International Airport include an interfaith chapel, storage lockers and several restaurants and shops, many of which sell outdoor apparel.
