Steamboat is a 3.5-hour drive from Denver through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. I-70 and CO Hwy 40 are major Colorado thoroughfares that are well plowed and deiced regularly during snowstorms. Any vehicle with snow tires should be fine for driving on Colorado roads. Many people choose to book shuttle ground transportation from DIA directly to their lodging in Steamboat. Take your time and enjoy the sights on your way to Steamboat. The journey is a scenic part of the vacation!
