Overview

  • This is a fully private day tour for your group only, driven by a professional chauffeur in a luxury SUV or Mercedes Sprinter. Door to door pickup from your Vail or Beaver Creek lodging, a photo stop on the 12,095 foot summit of Independence Pass, free time in downtown Aspen, and a scenic return through Glenwood Canyon. One flat price per vehicle, not per person, so a full group travels for less than most shared bus tours. Relax with bottled water, leave the mountain driving to a local expert, and set your own pace all day. When Independence Pass is closed for the season, roughly November through late May, we travel to Aspen via Glenwood Canyon in both directions and add extra free time in Aspen in place of the summit stop.

Activity itinerary

Independence Pass

  • 30m
Stand at the summit of Independence Pass, 12,095 feet above sea level on the Continental Divide. Your chauffeur stops at the summit overlook so you can step out, take photos of the alpine tundra and surrounding peaks, and enjoy one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Colorado.

Aspen

  • 2h
Enjoy about two hours of free time in downtown Aspen. Stroll the pedestrian malls, browse the galleries and boutiques, grab lunch at one of Aspen's famous restaurants, or ride the Silver Queen Gondola. Your chauffeur will meet you at an agreed spot when you are ready to continue.

Twin Lakes (Pass by)

Pass the historic village of Twin Lakes at the foot of Mount Elbert, Colorado's highest peak. The glacial lakes and 19th century stage stop buildings make a beautiful photo backdrop as you approach Independence Pass.

Glenwood Canyon (Pass by)

On the return along Interstate 70, ride through Glenwood Canyon, where the Colorado River carves 1,300 foot walls of layered rock. This engineering marvel of a highway is one of the most scenic drives in the country and completes your loop through the Rockies.
