Airport Info (about one hour from Bear Creek Cabin)


The Denver airport is on the far East side of Denver. The foothills are on the Westside of Denver, so for the drive to the mountain cabin, allow one hour.
A centrally located hub for both United and Frontier, Denver International connects to a host of other major airports. Jeppesen Terminal is split into an east and west side; each terminal has three concourses: A, B and C. After check-in, head to the lower level for security, then down another level to the train, which transports travelers to their concourses in less than 5 minutes. The train also provides service to baggage claim (Level 5). When leaving DIA, remember that Level 5 is for public transportation only. All private pickup takes place on Level 4.

Open since 1995, DIA is a spacious airport marked by a glass atrium and a Teflon-shell roof that reflects the region's bright sunlight. Amenities include fast food, newsstands, souvenir shops, luggage stores, travel agencies, sports bars, restaurants, postal service, Internet stations, and an interfaith chapel and Islamic prayer hall.
