Getting to Durango

We know Durango isn’t the easiest place to get to—but we promise Southwest Colorado is worth the journey.

FLY

Durango–La Plata County Airport (DRO)

The easiest way to arrive. A small regional airport about 20 minutes to downtown Durango and another ~20 minutes up the valley to Glacier Club. Rental cars are available on site.

FLY

Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ)

A great alternative with more flight options. Roughly a 3.5-hour drive to Durango through beautiful New Mexico and southern Colorado scenery. Rental cars are readily available.

DRIVE

Road Trip from Denver

About a 6.5–7 hour drive through the San Juan Mountains. If you’re turning the weekend into a Colorado adventure, some of our favorite stops along the way include Buena Vista, Del Norte, and Pagosa Springs.

Accommodations

While our events are only over the weekend, Southwest Colorado is an incredible place to explore. If you’re able, we’d highly recommend making a little trip out of it—feel free to reach out with any ideas, since we’ll be in the area for weeks on both sides of the wedding.

Highly recommended

Tamarron Resort (Onsite at Glacier Club)

Our top suggestion for the weekend. Renting a unit at Tamarron keeps you up the valley and close to the wedding festivities. Units in Pine Cone or Tamarron Lodge are under a 5‑minute walk to the venue. Gambel Oak is also a great Tamarron option, just a slightly longer walk. Browse units here.

We have a 10% discount code for Tamarron—use RETURN10 at checkout.

Downtown

The Strater Hotel

Visit website

A classic Durango stay right in the heart of downtown—walkable to restaurants, coffee, and everything along Main Ave. If you stay downtown (at the Strater or elsewhere), you’ll need to coordinate your own transportation to the wedding venue about 20 minutes up the valley.

Getting Around

Durango is a small mountain town, and rideshares like Uber and Lyft are limited—especially late at night or up the valley.

BEST OPTION

Rent a Car

We strongly recommend renting a car for the weekend. Having a car gives you the most flexibility to explore Southwest Colorado, grab meals around town, and get to trailheads.

NO CAR?

Private Transportation

If you choose not to rent a car, you’ll need to arrange private transportation to and from the airport and for any other travel during your stay.

Reliable local options:
Animas Transportation · 970-259-1315
Buck Horn Limousine, LLC · 970-769-0933

~FYI~

Friday: For guests staying at the Glacier Club property, shuttles will be provided to and from Lola’s Place for the welcome party. For those staying in downtown Durango, most hotels are within walking distance of Lola’s Place.

Saturday: We will not be providing shuttles on the wedding day. Guests staying in downtown Durango will need to arrange their own transportation to and from the wedding.
