Keystone, Colorado sits some ninety miles west of Denver, along I-70 at the Eisenhower Tunnel, based at 9400 feet. The peaks of Keystone and neighboring Arapahoe Basin tower an astounding 12,400 feet above sea level — more than twice as far up as the Mile High City itself! Summers are short and sweet at such altitudes, and yet this Rocky Mountain town has plenty for visitors to see and do and experience all year long. The fun never stops at Keystone!

Most visitors fly in to Denver International Airport, located about 12 miles northeast of downtown Denver. From there, you can choose from one of the van shuttle services, or hire either a formal limo or a chauffeured SUV to take you to Keystone Resort or any other accommodations you’ve got arranged for your stay. There’s also Greyhound bus service, but the shuttles usually prove a better bargain. You can also rent a car at the airport, of course, but most winter visitors would rather not drive on snowy mountain roads. During the summer, excursions into the Rockies will make for vivid memories, photos and videos that you’ll cherish and share over and over again. Your friends and family are sure to enjoy the vicarious thrill!

Beautiful as getting there may be, the real fun begins once you arrive in Keystone Colorado. Keystone’s charm begins there at the base, with the friendly staff and residents. Winter visitors will be ecstatic over the 2000 acres of skiable mountain, trails covering three mountain peaks, providing some three thousand vertical feet of downhill exhilaration! Arapahoe Basin ski resort is the very highest skiable mountain in North America, is just 5 miles away, and free shuttles will take you to the mountain. You’re also just a short distance from Dillon, Fresno and down the road from Breckenridge, all major winter downhill skiing and snowboarding meccas. Other guests enjoy cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowmobiles and snowshoe excursions. Summers find visitors enjoying golfing, mountain biking, hiking, strolling along the village streets for shopping. Outdoor adventurers have lots of fun canoeing, rafting and fishing on the Snake River and Lake Dillon reservoir, and camping in the national forests. Mountaineering is a year-round activity in the Rockies.
