1. Lodging: As it will be a holiday weekend and one of the last with summer weather in the mountains, lodging accommodations will book earlier than normal. We suggest arranging your travel and stay ASAP.

2. Flights: We suggest using Google Flights and Hopper. Hopper is a free app that tracks the cost of airline tickets, car rentals, and hotel rooms over time, and will alert users when it is most affordable time to book. If flying, you can choose between Denver International Airport (DIA) or Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) as your destination.

3. Driving: There will be traffic driving into the mountains Friday afternoon & evening due to the holiday weekend. We recommend making your drive out of Denver anytime Thursday, Friday morning or early Saturday, at the latest.

There will also be traffic Monday, returning to Denver from the mountains. Please plan accordingly to make flights home from DEN!

4. Other: Drink plenty of water to better adjust to the altitude. Vail sits at 8,150 ft. above sea level. For reference, Cincinnati is at a whopping 482 ft.!
