Granby sits in Grand County near the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park, about 85 miles from Denver. The drive over Berthoud Pass on US-40 takes roughly two hours, and we handle every mile of it.
Ways to get from Denver to Granby
Granby is reached over Berthoud Pass on US-40, not the I-70 corridor, which changes the trip. Here is how the options compare.
Private car service, door to door
Ride from Denver or the airport to Granby in a private SUV or Sprinter van, with a driver who handles Berthoud Pass year round. No shared shuttle and no fixed schedule, just your group door to door.
Shared Shuttle
Shared shuttle options to Granby over Berthoud Pass are limited and run on a fixed schedule. You share the van with other riders and work around their stops, so it takes longer than a private ride.
Rent a Car
You can rent a car and drive yourself to Granby. That means the climb over Berthoud Pass, mountain weather, and parking, which is a lot to manage after a long travel day.
The Train
Amtrak’s California Zephyr stops in Granby once a day. It is a scenic option, but it ties you to a single daily arrival and departure and does not run door to door.
Uber and Lyft
Uber and Lyft sometimes serve Granby, but mountain drivers are limited and prices surge when it is busy. A ride home can be hard to find, so book ahead if you go this route.
The drive to Granby and Grand County
Granby sits in Grand County on the quieter west side of the mountains, reached over Berthoud Pass on US-40. The pass is scenic but climbs above 11,000 feet and can be snowy, so an experienced driver helps. Granby is the gateway to Lake Granby, Granby Ranch, and the Grand Lake entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.
